Extended Summary

Duncan’s camping trip with the Sutherlands and Nick doesn’t go as planned. Duncan didn’t want really want to go in the first place, but Alf said it would be good for him. But, he’s not getting involved with the kids’ activities. It’s almost like he’s copying Alf by isolating himself from people. Plus when Alf dropped him off, it was as if he couldn’t wait to get rid of him.

Dani’s not very happy, with Will or Gypsy. She had plans with Will, while Rhys and Shelley were way, but Gypsy offered to look after the park while the Sutherlands were away, which spoiled their plans after Will asked Gypsy to leave but then Dani cancelled their plans together anyway.

Irene is bugged by Dennis Scott, and her neighbours, to sell her house. However it’s starting to get very nasty. She found one of her windows cracked. Will’s got worried for Irene. However as it turned out, Will didn’t have to worry as Alf turned up with some left over dessert from the Diner to thank Irene for her kindness.

Vinnie, Leah, Jude and Shauna had dinner together. It was quite funny. Jude and Leah talked about nothing but marriage while she and Vinnie tried getting them off the subject. Shauna’s worried about Jude’s interest in marriage. Leah wants a huge traditional Greek wedding and Vinnie wants a casual beach do. But the slip of the tongue, Irene accidentally told Leah about Vinnie’s plans. Now, Leah’s asking Vinnie when she gets to meet his mum.

Shauna and Jude are getting along well. Shauna told him about her father. She seems to trust him quite a bit. She regrets it now however, Jude appears to know how to handle Shauna. He said he would give her a few days. Has Shauna really met her match?
