Karl's making breakfast, pancakes. Susan tells him that she would rather stay over at Libby and Drews, that she feels more comfortable with them. Karl is disappointed and suggests that she should stay home with him, after all they need to be together, and their house holds so many memories for her. Susan's not sure and says she doesn't want to, not today. She very politely asks if they have another hairdryer as the one in the bathroom is broken. Karl offers to buy another and then says that he'll hand dry it for her. She refuses, "I'll do it myself". Karl reminds her that he's done it before and she quickly responds that she can't remember that.

Darcy walks in holding a massive beautiful bouquet of flowers. Penny is impressed. Darcy has some time of his hands, he's dropped his car off for a service at the garage, but Drew is yet to arrive. They chat about Karl's report about Darcy to the General Practitioners board, and he says he'll get a slap on the wrist at the most, and Penny shouldn't worry, but she should get a vase for these flowers because they're hers. They kiss.

Steph offers Drew another coffee, but he has to get off to work, Darcy is bringing his car in. Steph hands Drew his lunchbox, and Drew comments how Libby is superwoman, finding the time to make his lunch. Steph confesses that she made it; she wants to help out as much as possible and not be a burden to them. Drew assures her that she isn't. Steph asks him about dinner, she'll make her famous beef stroganoff (hold on, she can't cook). Drew explains it will be just the two of them as Libby is visiting her friend Karen and her baby and then is staying at her parents as Susan is not doing too well at the moment and it's difficult for Karl.

Karl's walks into the lounge just as Susan is about to cut off her hair. He jumps in and stops her telling her she loves her hair and she'll regret cutting it. It'll grow back, Susan reasons. Karl suggests that if she must have it cut, let a hairdresser look at it. He suggests Lyn Scully, she's very good, and he'll call her. Susan wants a morning appointment as she is going shopping in the afternoon. Karl says he'll take the afternoon off to go with her or maybe Libby can join her, but Susan wants to go alone. She apologises to Karl but she needs space. She also needs money and looks blank when Karl tells her she still has credit cards in her purse. He realizes she doesn't know what a credit card is and gives her some cash.

Dee is ready to go out and Toadie is looking moody. The atmosphere is tense. Dee announces that "yes, I am going out with Ray, and don't you dare judge me for it". She goes on to say at least she has a life instead of moping around. He says he'd rather be alone than hang out with no hopers. He goes on to add that Ray is here for a good time not a long time, Darcy took off with Tess, Stuart was in love with Flick and Joel wasn't ready to settle down. He suggests its time she had a reality check. She brings up his crush on the married Maggie from next door and suggests he get over what's bugging him or their friendship's over. She'd hate that, but it's up to him. The lights go out.

Luckily the main course was cooked before the power cut; raw beef stroganoff can be pretty shocking.

"Darcy Tyler, truth or dare?". After much prompting he chooses "truth".

Penny asks if he is letting her down gently, is she being dumped". He says he's changed his mind, he'll take a dare. Not allowed, answer the question. He says absolutely not, quite the reverse and kisses Penny's hand.

Dee's turn next. Truth or Dare?, "dare". Darcy dares her to plant a big wet kiss on whoever it is who is walking through the door right now. It's Mr Grumpy himself, Toadie. Dee says she can't kiss him, he's her housemate, but the gathered clan insist.

Toadie plants a long lingering passionate kiss on Dee then departs, leaving Steph, Drew, Ray, Darcy, Penny and herself all absolutely speechless...............
