Toadie bumps into Sindi at the Coffee Shop and she’s worried about how dull the Scullys are on the show. Jack comes in and sees Sindi, while Toadie leaves.

She tries to talk him round, and he says that they can brainstorm over a coffee.

Lou thinks about calling Trixie, but realises that he has no idea where she is. Harold tells him to shut up and sit down and think about some costcutting.

Back at the Coffee Shop, Sindi suggests that Jack needs to be a bit more assertive on camera, and they all think he’s weak. She tells him that it’s far more attractive if he can stand up for himself.

Harold is at home having breakfast when he sees the story about Lou and Trixie in the local newspaper and he rushes out of the house.

At number 30, Stuart and Toadie are watching the footie, when Connor comes in and says it’ll take him ages to work out the rules to the game. Stuart is talking about going to the police training and how he’s being bullied. Sindi arrives and asks the boys to help with her filming, Stu and Connor quickly run away. Sindi explains to Toadie that they’re watching the footie over the road, so he won’t miss anything.

At number 26, Toadie is trying to arrange Valda and Jack for filming. Toadie tells Jack to come on camera and ask his granny if she’ll help him build a frame for his Ricky Martin poster.

Lou is trying to convince Trixie to come back, but she hangs up on him and he throws the phone across the room, ruining one of Connor’s kegs of home brew. Connor comes in and tells Lou he’s losing it.

The police bundle a young guy into the van and he’s insulting the cops. Steiger tells Stu not to let the kid out of his sight, while they go back and try to stop the riot that’s ensuing. The kid shouts at some fans from the van and then starts talking to Stu about his career in the force and how he’s got the look of a dumb hick.

At the pub, Connor is worried that Lou won’t support him anymore in his beer brewing, but Harold assures him that it’s just a brief problem and Lou will soon come round. Lou appears and asks Connor to hold the fort. Lou tells Harold that he’s going to fight this and he’s going to see the bank about a loan.

The kid is still giving Stuart hassle and when Stu fails to respond, he throws the rug at him that he’s using to cover himself up.

Steiger asks the kid who’s responsible for him and then Toadie appears and says that he is. He explains that the kid is his cousin, Scott Timmins, from Station Street in Colac.
