Charlie's Bar
Rebecca and Susan take great delight in teasing Karl about how they're going to girly- up the men's shed when they win the calendar contest. Susan asks Rebecca if she's going to be involved, but Rebecca says she'll just stick to the distribution. Lucas and Mark call in after riding their bikes. Rebecca points out to the Ks that Mark is like the Pied Piper of Erinsborough - wherever he goes women just flock after him. Karl takes Lucas aside and begs him to try and convince Mark to pose for the calendar; much like Obi- Wan Kenobi, Mark's their only hope.
Number 32/Number 22
Natasha goes on and on about morning sickness until Summer's harassed enough to get her a cup of peppermint tea.
Paul gets a shoe thrown at him courtesy of India and her 'I don't wanna wear shoes' stance. Declan's on the ground looking for her other one.
DECLAN: Where have you thrown the other one, honey?
PAUL: She's probably eaten it.
Great solution, Paul. Andrew appears and finds the missing shoe behind the couch then offers to put them back on India, which garners an eyebrow raise from Paul.
Michael sees Summer give Tash the tea and jokingly warns her not to make a habit of it or Tash will take advantage. When Michael leaves to have a drink with the boys, Tash sticks the boot in about Andrew, wondering whether Summer's seen him today. Gritting her teeth, Summer says not since school yesterday and quickly goes off to work.
Andrew teases India about wanting shoes when she's older and hands her back to Declan. Paul laughs and tells Andrew he shouldn't be too helpful or Declan will ask him to baby- sit. Tash rings Andrew and tells him they need to go to Harold's because she has a craving for lemon tart - and they can hang out with Summer. Andrew sighs and does his best to sound enthusiastic about going.
Lassiter's Complex
Kate and Sonya ask Summer if Lyn would want to pose for their calendar - what's a Scully calendar without a Scully? But Summer says it's not really her Nan's thing. Tash appears with Andrew, practically dragging him along by the hand, and happily tells Summer she needs dessert. While Summer mopes off to get the tart, Tash starts joking to Andrew about craving anchovies and ice- cream, but he doesn't get how she can be so jovial. Andrew says they need to see a doctor and tell their parents what's going on, but Tash warns him that she's not ready yet.
Charlie's Bar
Rebecca sees Michael sitting on the couches by himself and they have a polite conversation together for the benefit of any prying ears. But Michael can't help himself and leans in closer to tell Rebecca he misses her. She smiles and says she misses him too.
Karl, Lucas and Toadie are watching Mark play pool, along with half the female population of Charlie's. Karl and Toadie poke and prod Lucas until he's forced into asking Mark to take another crack at the calendar. Mark's answer is still no.
Number 32/Number 22
Tash is looking at a pregnancy website but quickly minimises the window when Michael arrives home. He thinks she's doing homework.
Andrew's also looking up information about pregnancies on his laptop. Rebecca struggles in with some shopping and tells Paul to take out the bins. She notices that Andrew seems uneasy about something and tells him she's all ears for a chat.
Michael comments on how quiet the house is with only the two of them there. He likes his houseguests, but sometimes silence is golden. He commends Tash on how accommodating she's been, especially with Summer, and that the Tash of only a year ago would have kicked up a fuss. Tash feels guilty that her dad's so proud.
Andrew struggles with telling Rebecca the truth, before taking a deep breath and showing her the website he was looking at: "Tash is pregnant". Rebecca's shocked and asks if Michael knows, but Andrew vehemently shakes his head.
First Commercial Break
Number 22
Andrew tells Rebecca that he thought he and Tash were being so careful and feels stupid that he let this happen. Rebecca asks if they're 100% sure Tash is pregnant, but Andrew says he was there when she took the test. Rebecca assures him that they'll have the family's support, but they really need to tell Michael and Paul what's going on. Andrew thanks Rebecca for being so supportive.
Number 32 - Natasha's Room
Natasha has a fit when Andrew confesses that he told Rebecca about the baby. He reminds her that they're just kids themselves and they're going to need all the help they can get. Tash says she just needs more time, but Andrew replies that if she doesn't tell her dad soon, then he will.
Charlie's Bar
Lucas is trying to make a shot at the pool table but can't concentrate with Karl and Toadie staring at him. They want him to have another go with Mark.
LUCAS: I don't see you guys hassling Michael about being in it.
KARL: Michael is not 'The Brennan'.
LUCAS: I'll tell him you said that.
Mark re- joins them after taking a call and says that he has to head off, much to Toadie and Karl's disappointment. Susan walks in with Lyn, who feels guilty about all this men vs women business, especially with the prospect of the guys losing their shed. Susan says the most important thing is that Lyn and the kids have a house to go back to. Lucas is privy to this conversation and has a change of heart about Mark.
Number 22
Declan asks Rebecca if she wants to go on a walk with him and India, but when Tash appears she stays behind for a private chat. Tash is annoyed that Andrew told her about the baby, but Rebecca's glad he did; they're both too young to handle this by themselves. Tash shouts at Rebecca that she'll tell her dad in her own damn time, but then apologises and claims that she's just scared and lashing out. She makes Rebecca promise that she'll keep a lid on things for now. Rebecca agrees but looks conflicted.
Second Commercial Break
Lassiter's Complex
Lucas finds Mark chatting to Kate and Sonya and asks him to have another think about the calendar. Mark says he can't compromise his job at the police station, but Lucas says it's a fundraiser - his bosses would love it. Kate and Sonya try to disagree with Lucas just so Mark won't be talked into it. Lucas goes in for the kill and reminds Mark what it would mean to Lyn, Summer and "little Charlie". After some deliberating, Mark finally agrees to take part in the shoot. Excellent work, Hot Stuff, you should never deprive the world of your abs.
Charlie's Bar
Michael's finishing up a conversation on his mobile with Tash when Rebecca walks in. He notices she looks distracted and asks if she's OK - or if something happened with Paul - but Rebecca just says it's been a really long day. Michael goes to sit with the Ramsay Street gang when Paul arrives to have a pre- dinner drink with Rebecca.
Karl makes a toast to Lucas for saving the integrity of the men's calendar, but Sonya, Kate and Susan tell the blokes that they're getting ahead of themselves. Lucas gets a text from Billy, letting him know that there's no news about a race yet but he'll keep him posted. Meanwhile, the others are discussing a pose for Mark.
KARL: How do you think we should shoot him? Behind a desk?
TOADIE: In a hat... In a cell.
KARL: Would handcuffs be too much?
The girls groan and Kate reminds them they're very luck to have Mark - he takes his job very seriously. Lucas frowns at this little reminder.
Number 32 - Natasha's Room
Natasha informs Summer that Andrew went behind her back and told Rebecca about the baby. But Summer reminds Tash that it's Andrew's baby too and he might be reaching out for some help. Andrew bursts in and makes Tash's day even worse by announcing that he's called Michael and told him to come home - they're telling him about the pregnancy right now.
Number 32
Natasha can't stop pacing around the room and it's making Andrew even more nervous. Tash says her dad's going to kill her but Summer says her dad loves her. When Michael gets home Summer makes herself scarce. Tash looks like she wants to run after Summer and get the hell out of there too, but Andrew summons up some courage and blurts out to Michael that Tash is pregnant. Cue Michael's head exploding in 3...2...1...
Third Commercial Break
Number 32
Michael can only repeatedly yell, "What the hell have you done?" at the kids. Andrew promises he'll stand by Tash and look after her, but Michael sarcastically retorts that he's done a great job of that so far. Andrew attempts another chat but Michael just yells at him to get out of the house. Tash meekly says, "Daddy" and tries to placate her father, but Michael pushes past her and walks out the door.
