Tom tells Frank that Morag will buy the caravan park.

Bobby leaves a note for Frank and some food in the oven (which she leaves on). Bobby then goes out. (Tense music plays)

Frank comes home and sees the note Bobby left for him. He notices the food in the oven which is very hot since the oven has been on for a long time. He hurries to take it out of the oven and burns himself. Bobby is visiting Narelle.

Next day Bobby comes home. Frank and Bobby are arguing.

Celia has organised a meeting with her Christian friends in her house. Morag is on the sofa and is grumpy due to Celia’s meeting in the house.

Frank and Bobby stop arguing and forgive each other. They kiss.

Bobby finds out that Morag is buying the caravan park. She is upset over it and knows it can’t be for honest intentions.
