The Pub
Darcy and Dee are having drinks. Darcy's mobile rings and the name on the screen says 'James'. He hangs up. Dee asks who he's avoiding. Darcy wonders what Dee would say if he asked her "to elope across the Bass Strait" with him. He says that they had a great time in Tasmania, and Dee says "Yes, as friends." She's not ready for anything more yet, "You know that." Darcy says yes he knows, and he'll back off. Dee says she thinks she ought to move out of Darcy's to have more space. He says to her to move out, only when she knows where she's going. Dee relents. Darcy goes to get another drink, but Dee is going to head off. She tells Darcy to stay and enjoy himself. As she leaves, Darcy's mobile rings again.

"Bit late for that," Joe mutters.

Toadie comes in and asks if Dee's there. Darcy says yes, but she's really busy. Toadie says he'll wait, but Darcy convinces him it wouldn't be professional for both of them.

Valda had to bring them back from the Kennedys, "Apparently Dr Karl has some issues with them." Joe says a few snide comments about the "spoilt" dogs. Valda goes to put them down for a nap. Lyn laughs at Joe and says he's as bad as Karl. Joe says it's time for the poodles and Valda to go. Lyn says she can't let Valda go, she has nowhere else to stay and she's broke.

"I guess that answers my question", Max says and they follow the couple.

They hear Valda in the lounge room, and are surprised to see her near the front door with all her belongings. She's giving them some space - by moving into the garage. Joe is mortified, "In my garage?!" Valda says she'll be fine in there. Joe looks like he just might cry.

Dee says it was very brave of Toadie to come and see her in Tasmania, and she wishes her Nan had have told her he was there. Toadie asks if it would have made a difference, and she says "Maybe". Toadie says he wants to work things out, and be with her. Dee smiles wistfully and says "I've missed you so much." Everything is going well until Toadie keeps pressing Dee about the guy she went out with, even though she told him that it was no one important. He won't give up, and Dee says he still doesn't trust her. They start to bicker. Dee says "For a minute there I thought you'd grown up, but you're obviously as insecure and jealous as ever." Dee gets up to go and Toadie tries to get her to stay, but she walks out.
