On the way to her dinner with Simon, Vicky finds Claire wandering in the bush. After rejoining Simon at the Jones' farm, Vicky and Simon sit down to dinner only to be serenaded by the Jones' noisy livestock. Brendan is almost at the point of believing that Molly may have left him when she phones from a farm near Burrigan to tell him that she'll be staying there a few days to learn how to run a farm properly. Shirley is given a "Miss Piggy" mask to wear when her Eaters Anonymous group learn that she has gained two pounds since their last meeting. At first Shirley refuses to wear the mask but she quickly dons the handy disguise when Frank shows up to give a talk entitled "Vegetables Can Be Fun." Despite the administration of an anti venom, Susan Flett is brought back to hospital with the same symptoms and Terence discovers that she is suffering from the effects of exposure to the insecticide that Susan's landlady has been using copiously inside her house. Simon refers Claire to an eye specialist but after the doctor's alarming worst-case-scenario diagnosis, Simon gives her a rational explanation of her condition (retinitis pigmentosa) before sending her to see another specialist in Sydney.
