Susan manages to get herself together and goes up to hug Libby, pleased that she’s now out of hospital. Libby and Dan wonder where Karl is, alluding to the fact they may have some important news to tell. Susan steps in though and asks what it is they’ve come to say. Susan’s delighted to learn Libby and Dan have set a date for the wedding and she hugs Libby again. A slightly teary Susan then reiterates her belief that they’ll all be there to celebrate.

No 22: Donna’s enthusiastically playing Ludo with Simon and Tegan, but Simon says he’d rather watch something on cable TV. Donna says playing a board game is a good way for them to all talk as it’s been a long time, but Simon cattily remarks that that is Donna’s fault. Donna says she had to get out the house with the way their mum was behaving as Tegan interjects to break up the brewing tension. There’s a knock at the door, so Donna swans off to answer it. It’s Ringo and as he walks into the room Tegan quizzes him on how he got his name. Ringo then informs the group that Toadie’s throwing a pirate party for Callum and he thinks it’ll be a good idea for them all to go along. Tegan happily replies with “sick” as Simon looks on slightly embarrassed.

Meanwhile Callum offers Tegan a drink and manages to get her to hold his hand by pretending he’s got a terminal illness.

However, Libby thinks it’s a great idea and gets into the spirit of things with a good hearty “arr”.

As Rebecca goes over to sit down with Susan, she’s aghast to discover Susan plans to go back to work tomorrow.

Simon then says Ringo is just one from a long line of “dopey boyfriends” causing Ringo to react and push Simon up against the wall, just as Donna walks in.

Harold's Store: As Libby’s sat down, Dan hands her a present.
