No 30 - Carmella's bedroom: It’s late and Ringo brings Carmella a hot chocolate. He spies she is reading a book he is currently studying at school and gets onto the bed to lay next to her. She questions what she is doing and Ringo jokes ‘a book review’ but he’d settle for a kiss. Carmella reminds him he is too young and she too old for anything to happen between them plus she is practically his older sister once Rosie weds Frazer. There is a moment where they nearly kiss but are interrupted by Rosie asking to come in. Carmella pretends she is putting on some clothes as Ringo decides he can only hide out under the bed. Carmella opens her bedroom door and Rosie launches into discussing wedding plans and despite Carmella’s request to chat in the morning Rosie has no intention of leaving and Ringo realises he could hiding for some time to come.
Charlie's Bar: Steph & Boyd are unimpressed with Toadie’s campaign poster showing him posing with Frazer in his wheelchair and holding Bob while Toadie shakes Frazer’s hand, waving a wad of money in the other.

Steph believes he is just getting her back for sacking him as her campaign manager but Toadie informs them he has his first journalist interview later and is serious.

No 28 - Lounge/kitchen: Tom tries to encourage Zeke to let him take him to the pub but Susan is adamant he cannot. Tom believes he is talking to his wife and Karl and Zeke handles it well without Tom being alarmed. After Tom goes to his room, Zeke again mentions that he distrusts Ian but Susan doesn’t see it how he is so sure he can believe Tom’s claims.
Charlie's Bar: Toadie is delivering his message to journalist Susannah Christie as Steph & Boyd listen in from behind the bar. Steph interrupts and joins them creating a debate. Susannah asks them to both do a joint interview the following day with her.
No 30 - Carmella's bedroom: Rosie finally reaches the last thing on her list as Frazer arrives asking her to give him a hand with his physio. Rosie goes to leave but remembers she needs the top Carmella bought the other day to take to the florist as a reference for the ribbon colour. She spots it laying on the floor but as she picks it up she reveals someone’s leg sticking out. Frazer & Rosie realise Ringo is hiding and Carmella is appalled they’ve been caught. Ringo lies he has been looking for mice.
No 30 - Carmella's bedroom: Frazer & Rosie are outraged that Ringo would invade Carmella’s privacy and cannot understand when Carmella defends Ringo’s actions. Rosie takes Carmella out of the house so Frazer can deal with his brother.

Boyd interrupts, insisting they take their disagreement to the office.

No 28 - Dining table: Zeke is studying when Tom insists in Susan & Rachel’s absence they go to the pub. Zeke leaves a note for Susan and Tom jokes about them getting into a fight later.
No 30 - Lounge: Frazer tries to impress on Ringo that he is in serious trouble. Ringo cannot open up to his brother what really happened but is shocked when Frazer tells him he has no choice but to move out and return home. Ringo wants to speak to the girls and see if that is what they want. Frazer reluctantly agrees.
Charlie's Bar: Tom & Zeke arrive and Tom makes comment to how posh the pub looks. Tom asks for two beers but Boyd has no intention of serving Zeke. Zeke sends Tom over to sit down and asks Boyd to give him juice to look like beer. Steph & Toadie appear from the office making excuses for needing to be alone. Carmella continues to defend Ringo much to Rosie’s amazement but they are then confronted by Ringo and Frazer. Rosie isn’t happy but Ringo begs to explain. He lies as he claims he does have a crush on Carmella and that he was carrying her laundry to her room when he heard her coming. Then fearing he would be caught holding her underwear he hid under the bed. Carmella joins in by referring to the ‘clean ‘ underwear she found in her room. Ringo asks for forgiveness. Carmella feels very uncomfortable.
No 28 - Lounge: Susan & Rachel panic as they realise Tom & Zeke are not at home. Rachel spots the note and ponders if Zeke pretending to be Karl is as good as they think it is for Tom. Susan just wants to get to the pub and discuss it all later.

No 28 - Kitchen: Susan returns from seeing Tom to his room and is angry with Zeke for not calling her to let her know where they were. Zeke defends his actions and claims the fall would never have happened had they let Tom finish his beer and not made him feel like a child. Susan reminds Zeke Tom needs care that sometimes demands he be treated like a child because of his condition and that she is going to rely on Ian as a carer for it. Zeke cannot believe Susan still will not see Ian is a thief but she is adamant it is Tom who is delusional, not Ian who is at fault.

No 32 - Garage: Toadie is unhappy at being pestered by Zeke to borrow something so late and hands over a bag warning him he’ll not be responsible if Zeke gets ‘busted’ for whatever he’s doing. Zeke questions him if all old people end up senile but Toadie assures him his 93 yr old grandmother is still ‘sharp as a tack’. Zeke cannot understand why it affects certain people and calls it unfair. Toadie agrees but draws his attention back to the task in hand.
No 30 - Lounge: Next morning Rosie is telling Carmella the story how her band she had booked to sing at the wedding cannot make the new date.

Frazer however wants them to focus on each other.
No 28 - Kitchen/lounge: Ian explains he is making Tom some breakfast to Susan as Tom sleeps on the sofa. Across the room Zeke sets up the camcorder to record and he, Susan & Rachel leave for school. Ian spots Susan’s rings laying on the side of the sink and decides to take a closer look. Tom who has woken up spots Ian with the rings and tells him to put them back. Ian pockets them and tells a confused Tom it is he who has taken them. Everything is recording on the camcorder.
No 28 - Lounge/dining table: Susan, Zeke & Rachel return home after school to find Ian has prepared them dinner. Zeke immediately goes to the camcorder. Susan spots her rings have gone missing and Ian blames Tom. However Zeke shows Susan the camcorder recording showing Ian as the thief and also eating Tom’s breakfast. Ian pretends he forgot about the rings and returns them to the side of the sink – Susan decides to call the police. Ian decides to make a run for it and pushes past Zeke who is held back by Rachel. Zeke is furious at his sister but Tom reveals he took Ian’s car keys so he can’t get far. Rachel continues to call the police while Susan apologises to Zeke & Tom for not believing them. Tom tells them he knows he can be as ‘nutty as a date pud’ but they at least revealed Ian’s true motives together.
