The police have turned up at the Ramsays to question Henry over the ice cream robbery the night before. Madge is distraught, particularly because Mrs Mangel is there to witness the whole thing...

At the Robinsons, Scott is annoying everyone with his guitar playing; having been allowed to stay home for school to welcome his sister Lucy home. Jim and Helen discuss the fact she has been away for such a while and how much they have missed her, although she sounded a bit grouchy on the phone. Helen, fed up with Scott’s strumming, makes him a deal – if he takes out the garbage she won’t tap dance on his guitar. Madge walks in and tells Jim and Helen about Henry being questioned. She is very upset and Jim and Helen are supportive. Madge says she doesn't know where he was the night before. Jim calls the police station to see what he can find out.

Gail is sitting outside the coffee shop, being served coffee by her ex husband Jeremy, who is clearly wooing her, calling her beautiful and then expressing his concern about her entering into a marriage of convenience with her boss Paul. Jeremy says she is being a hypocrite – she is telling him to be open and honest, and yet she is being fake putting on this engagement with Paul for the benefit of a business deal with Japanese businessman, Mr Udugawa. Jeremy then insinuates they can go away together once his racing car number 13 is ready to be sold, but he doesn't know where he will find the money to finish the car. Paul comes along and interrupts, saying he needs Gail for work. Gail leaves for her duties, and Jeremy is clearly formulating some sort of plan.

Back at the Robinsons, Jim says the police suspect Henry because he has no alibi and refuses to say where he is. Madge insists her son is innocent.

In the office of the Daniels Corporation, Jeremy comes in to speak to Paul, telling him he refuses to allow Gail to have anything to do with this fake engagement now they have reconciled. He says he needs money for the car, and reminds Paul he controls what Gail does. Paul retorts that it’s up to Gail and he can always tell Mr Udugawa that Gail broke the engagement – he would understand. Jeremy comes back with the fact that the Japanese are honorable people and such a businessman wouldn't appreciate knowing that he had been duped. He says that if Paul agrees to provide some money for the car, he 'probably' wont tell Mr Udugawa about the lie.

At the garage, Madge is telling Charlene about Henry being at the police station. Charlene is adamant that Henry hasn’t done anything wrong, and has the bright idea of calling Sue Parker, who will know more detail about Henry has been up to.
