She tells him they have to go out and runs out the house.

Charlie's: Rebecca is phoning Dec and leaving messages on his answering machine which seems like the umpteenth time. Paul is beside her and he has the contract under his arm.

Paul says the figure is irrelevant as he's never going to be unfaithful. Rebecca rips up the contract.

No 26 - Living room: Zeke, Ringo and Dec are walking from the kitchen to the living room, Zeke points out to Dec he is lucky to have a girlfriend, unlike him, at which point Ringo points out that would be pretty lame.

Dec thinks his friends are sad and suggests that they could always talk to Sunny if they're that desperate.

Bridal Store: Sunny thinks that Didge is just whingeing, Didge said she has a lot to whinge about as she's "7 months pregnant with hormones that are driving me insane!" Donna tells her that any girl would kill to be in her shoes. Didge announces that she's tired and wants to go home at which stage the receptionist comes over again and tells Didge that she was also pregnant at her wedding. Didge seems to be able to relate and understand this and accepts the receptionists offer of help to find a wedding dress.

No 26 - Living room: Dec admits to Zeke and Ringo he knew that Didge was freaked out about the wedding but admits he thought she'd give in. Dec admits the wedding is a big deal but doesn't know why it is.

Adrian the bank worker immediately takes a shine to Lucas who Elle introduces as being her brother. Adrian says he may be able to help them if someone whispers the password to the box in his ear. Adrian tells them the password but in another language and Elle manages to translate it.

Didge is worried they can't work things out, Dec says they can only try.
