No.26
Cody tells Phil what Hannah said to her about Julie. She thinks she's given Hannah false hope about Julie "being in the next room". Phil says that Hannah has an active imagination and he doesn't think a dream is anything to worry about. He's dreaming about Julie too.
No.22
Brett and Ren have been unsuccessful in acquiring frog spit. They decide to substitute with dog spit(!) Lou asks if they still cut up frogs in school and Ren is disgusted. Lou is surprised that there are no frogs at Lassiter's - there used to be loads. Maybe the lake is polluted now.
Brett starts ranting on about the council and says that someone should stand up to them. Lou thinks Brett should do it - he could organise a pressure group. Brett looks thoughtful.
Outside No.26
Billy, Cody and Libby are heading off to school. Brett joins them, saying he wants to check out the Science Lab at School. He mentions the pollutionat Lassiter's Lake and Billy agrees - he got a rash from a blackberry spray there. Brett thinks they should do something about it, and Billy suggests a petition. Cody and Libby agree to meet them in the newsagency after school.
No.26
Hannah is rushing to school, but Phil wants a chat about Julie first. He gently tells Hannah that he's there for her if she wants to talk and mentions the dream.
HANNAH: It wasn't a dream. I talked to her.
PHIL: Hannah...we both miss Mum very, very much, and sometimes when you want something hard enough, even though we know we can't have it, our dreams give us a little taste of what it might be like. There's nothing wrong with that, those feelings are very precious: it gives us something to hold on to. But it's still part of the dream.
HANNAH: Dad, I know what dreams are like. This was different. It was more real.
PHIL: Hannah...
HANNAH:(firmly) I was with Mum. I was.

Sam and Chip come in. They are looking forwad to the football presentation tonight. Cheryl still hasn't picked a name winner.
LOU: Cheryl wants something with pizazz.
CHIP: Pizazz?
SAM: Hang on...what about "Chez Chez"? There you go...it's got that exotic, international flavour, what do you reckon?!
CHIP: Don't give up the day job, mate!
CHERYL: Hang on...Chez Chez isn't half bad!
Sam grabs a pen, crosses out Colin Taylor's entry of 'The Blue Lagoon', writes 'Chez Chez instead, and adds it to the other entries!
CHERYL: 'Chez Chez'! It's good!

It's night now, and Mark is showing Annalise the Milky Way. They start talking about Gaby and Jack getting engaged, and Mark says it's nice to surprised people sometimes. He starts kissing Annalise, when they are interrupted by a familiar face - at first they think it's Colin Taylor, but it turns out that it's his identical twin Alf Taylor. Mark asks if they can catch up some other time, but Alf ignores this and follows them, making smalltalk. He explains that he's in the green 62 Ford with a leprachaun on the roof.
ANNALISE: Ah, you're Irish, are you?
ALF:(pause) No.
He wanders off and Mark and Annalise don't follow him!

Sam, Chip and Ren come back from the football presentation. Chip has won a number of medals. Sam hasn't won anything and looks a bit fed up. Ren tells them that she's had a great night. Lou asks if Ren has had a few drink, but she says she had only had orange juice. When she sits down, Chip orders her a vodka and orange.
