Extended Summary

Martin is in trouble as he is still a in relationship with Leanne which he doesn’t want to be in. Leanne thinks they will get married. Martin talks to Lance about it.

Martin says to Lance that he thinks he is going out with a nun!

Leanne isn’t really happy with Martin either and she tells Celia she reckon she is going out with a “garbage bin”!

So neither of them really want to be together anymore.

Leanne tries to figure out how to dump Martin. She comes up with an idea to try to get Martin to break it off instead. She reckons the method to do that is to change to the way she was before Celia started to give her lessons on how to be classier.

Nicholas speaks to Fisher. He tries to get Fisher to sell his house to Macklin Development but Fisher is determined not to sell his house.

While Martin and Lance are in the Diner, Martin comes up with an idea to act like an extreme slob to make Leanne break off her relationship with him. Just then Leanne walks into the Diner wearing sexy clothes like she used to do and she kisses Martin. He is stunned!

Celia hates the fact that Leanne has ignored her lessons on how to act classy.

Martin thinks Leanne is hot again and he wants to stay in the relationship with Leanne. (So Leanne’s plan to make him dump her backfired!)

Fisher comes to talk to Bobby. He explains he has been asked to go to the city to promote Alan’s book. He says the publishers would like Bobby to come along as well and Fisher would like that too. Bobby says she will think about it.

Carly is about to start going to therapy sessions to help her overcome her alcohol problem. She is nervous about it.

Martin tells Leanne that he loves the idea of them getting married.

When Carly is on bus going over to the therapist she is having big doubts about it and nearly gets off the bus to skip the idea (emotional music plays)

Morag tries to convince Fisher to sell his house to Macklin Development but he is still very determined not to sell. Morag threatens him to tell Bobby that he is her father if he doesn’t sell the house!

Carly comes to the therapist and is surprised when she finds out it is Andrew Foley!
