- A practical joke by Marissa leaves a young suitor in a very compromising position. Sandra's day turns from bad to worse and it appears only Tom will be her saviour. Meanwhile, Kimberley confronts her nemesis.
- Liz is stalled by memories of the past. The family's growth reflected as a timeline of height marks on the kitchen wall. It's an emotional time. Where packing up is not just about material objects. John's recent vasectomy has rendered him useless. So his discovery that Greg's muscle power will not be available is added stress. Greg offers up his son as an alternative. The removalists arrive, the unfortunately named R.G Bargy and his young offsider, Danny. The discovery that Mickey has disappeared to the country forces Liz to hit upon the idea of having Skid masquerade as one of the removalists. She takes advantage of John's mistaking Skid for one of the removalists, in the hope of dispelling any preconceptions about the lad that her husband may have. The introduction process turns sour when John, unaware of the boy's true identity, notices Skid and Marissa bantering like the teen couple they in fact are. His impressions are now quite firmly geared to the negative. Causing Liz's subtle deception to spiral disastrously. Skid notices that Marissa has taken a passing interest in Danny, the young offsider. It sparks Skid's competitive nature. Marissa is prevailed upon by Jason to retrieve his illicit stash of pornographic magazines. His punishment she decides involves the sprinkling of Chilli powder onto the offending magazines pages. However the novelty of the situation is used for far greater effect by Skid, simply as revenge on the cute, toilet bound removalist. Jason sidesteps his responsibility to family in an attempt at eliciting some form of response from the gorgeous Katy Turnbull. Katy keeps Jason hanging on like a panting puppy. After finally boring of Katy's non-action he heads home, only to discover he has incurred Sandra's displeasure by not helping with the stressful move. Kimberley is confronted by Shelley one last time. Thanks to a past suggestion of Marissa's about the use of pepper as a form of self-defence and a harrowing, adrenaline pumping foot chase - Kimberley finally wins a small victory in the face of defeat. Sandra struggles with Pip's petulance. The no-show of the removalists, the stress of having to sort out a work reference combined with Pip's sulky indifference is more than a plateful for the already panicked Sandra. Her saviour comes in the form of a problem solving Tom. He extracts Sandra's work reference from Derek with little more than a calm, offhanded threat. He also recognises Bert's love of his dog. A fondness, he correctly believes, that will prove the old man unable to drown her puppies. By resolution Sandra assesses that Tom has gone far beyond being the loyal friend in her hour of need. And in this moment we recognise how much she really means to this young man. Cam struggles to break free from the family's history. The tie of generations, mixed with the guilt of letting his father down are a heavy burden for the young teen. He is buoyed by the knowledge that Sandra knows his father would have wanted him to do that which makes him happy. Pip's heart is held for ransom by Bert Adams' macabre sense of justice. He still wants to drown the pups. But Tom's settlement with Bert, allowing Pip to receive one of Jack's puppies in the near future finally placates her.
