Number 30
Dan rejects Toadie's offer of a beer because he's got things to do.
Number 28
"Libby and Dan" is the toast but Dan arrives to hijack Libby and leads her out of the house with a blindfold on.
Number 32
Ty is trying to finish off some songs before he heads off to Japan but Tanya arrives to deliver the news that Japan is off - he's been dropped in favour of someone else but she uses the "pre-existing health reasons" as the official reason why rather than 'because you knocked me back'. Rachel tries to defend Ty but Tanya makes it clear that he can't win so don't try. Once she leaves, Ty makes his displeasure known to Rachel (she gave Tanya the ammunition she needed thanks to returning the bottle of pills) but is stunned into silence when she asks if he has any medical reasons.
Ramsay Street
Ty runs after Rachel to admit that he has a problem, which annoys Rachel because she lied to Karl on his behalf. He explains that he didn't know how to ask for help but now he does. Rachel walks off.
The General Store
Carmella is miffed at Elle for calling Ollie (Elle quickly moves a bowl of food in case a food fight materialises!) Elle asks why she can't admit she loves Ollie and tries to stop her from turning the conversation around to force her to admit the same about Lucas. "If you want to be lonely for the rest of your life it's up to you" Elle tells her before walking out of the kitchen.
Outside
Dan takes off the blindfold to show Libby a house that he has found for them that is just around the corner from Ramsay Street (although he drove for longer to create intrigue). The agent arrives and shows them into the house where both are taken with it.
Dan shows her around the house and the plans he has for it. When they head into a nursery and he's talking about what they can do to turn it into a study, Libby stops him to remind him that she can't give him a child as much as she wishes she could.
DAN: You and Ben are all the family I need.
The General Store
Toadie arrives to collect his buck party food from Carmella and he chats with Lucas over what they can do to the impending groom. Elle comes out of the kitchen and Lucas gets her opinion on potentially dressing Dan up as a schoolgirl, which she rejects as being inappropriate given his job. He invites her to pop by and do his nails when she confirms that she isn't attending the hen's night but refuses to on the grounds that he'll chip them the next time he is at work!
Lucas departs to book the strippers and Steph arrives to get Toadie to attend the dance session Ty has volunteered to give them. He ruefully tells her that there is no need for dance lessons because he secretly took some in advance of their wedding.
Charlie's
The champers is flowing at the hen party and Rebecca mentions to Carmella that Ollie has called to see if Carmella got the book since she hasn't called. She doesn't want to talk and instead volunteers to go talk to the stripper that has just walked in... only unless he's got a major secret, the stripper is actually Principal Andrew Simpson dressed in his army fatigues! (Miranda stops Rebecca from stopping Carmella because he deserves to suffer for what he has done!)
CARMELLA: I love a man in uniform.
ANDREW: Really?
LIBBY: Carm this is Andrew Simpson, school Principal, my boss.
One embarrassed Carmella apologises for mistaking him for a stripper and Steph confirms that she hasn't booked any.
CARMELLA: Don't suppose you fancy a bit of extra work?
REBECCA: Oh don't be silly Carmella; Principal Simpson is far too tight wound to let himself loose like that, aren't you?
ANDREW: Oh is he now? Well I'd say Miss Napier is all talk and no action.
REBECCA: Really? Would you?
ANDREW: Really. So how about if you want some entertainment put your money where your mouth is.
"Oh right" Rebecca replies before starting to undo his army fatigues.
Number 30 backyard
The gents, in comparison to the ladies, are quite sedate as Dan (dressed in a pink tutu over his trousers) puts the kybosh on the stripper when she turns up. "Don't spoil it for everyone Daniel" Lucas warns his brother. Jamie remarks when she sees who is gathered that they are much older than she is normally used to.
The guys begin to wander what is going on when Jamie starts blowing up balloons and starts making balloon animals!
(Later)
Jamie checks with her office and informs the guys that there was a mix up - the real stripper got a bunch of kids, two of whom now have shock and she is being interviewed by the police!
Charlie's
Rachel is shocked to hear that they tried to strip the Principal when she arrives and tells them that Ty isn't going to Japan although she doesn't give the real reason.
Rebecca tries to get Elle involved with the hen night and she is all set to say no until they hear the guys arriving and the enter bringing with them their various balloon animals/shapes. Steph tells them that they can't enter as they are not supposed to be at the same venue.
Airport
Ooh... Qantas must be out of favour now as we see a Virgin Blue flight land before cutting inside the "terminal" to see the passengers disembark including the legs of a mystery passenger. I wonder who that could be...
Charlie's
"You have never looked lovelier" Libby remarks to Dan when he takes off his headdress and to ask Libby if the guys can stay.
Airport
A cabby puts the mystery person's luggage into the boot of his taxi and we find out that the person is heading to Lassiter's.
Charlie's
Steph spots Rebecca staring at Andrew (he has his back to her on the other side of the bar) as she drops off some glasses. She asks Rebecca how work is going and once she says how bad it can be, Steph asks if she is in the right line of work.
Carmella spots lonely Elle and wants to know when she is going to admit that she likes Lucas. As normal, Elle avoids answering that one and tries to make out she is having a whale of a time but the watching Lucas can see it is a show.
Number 32
Rachel arrives to check on Ty and to say that she's let it out of the bag about Japan being off and the reason she used. They eventually get all lovey-dovey and begin to pash.
Lassiter's Complex
Rebecca runs after Andrew to thank him for being a good sport over the stripper business and gets all tongue-tied over what else she was going to say to him. "Maybe you wanted to ask me out on a date" Andrew suggests but she eventually replies no, just the good sport bit and as she heads off to re-enter the bar, Andrew calls out "shame".
REBECCA: But if I did have say a spare night...
ANDREW: Then you should definitely give me a call.
He then hands her a napkin with his number on it and she heads back into the bar.
At the other side of the complex, the taxi pulls up and the driver tells the mystery guest what is nearby and the mystery guest turns round and we see it is Sam Fitzgerald!
Charlie's
Looks like Jamie has been busy since she arrived at the bar because the place is covered in balloon shapes or people are wearing them!
Dan and Libby join the other couples dancing and he tells her that she makes him the happiest man in the world. "I'm glad to hear it," replies Libby. He also reaffirms what he said earlier - that she and Ben are enough for him.
LIBBY: I love you.
DAN: I love you too.
They are having a pash when there is a gatecrasher to the party... Sam Fitzgerald... a heavily pregnant Sam Fitzgerald!
SAM: What's the party?
EVERYONE: ...
