Stone insist on taking Jennifer out to lunch. She says ok if Fisher joins them too and Fisher is ok with joining them for lunch.

Ben talked to a bank and Carly and him got the loan from the bank to buy the boatshed now when they can afford it since they got money from Pip too since she will be business partner in the boatshed with them.

Ben and Carly talks to the owner of the boatshed (Fred Owens) and have a look around the place. Carly is very excited. Carly wants to open a cafe outside the boatshed. Ben says they probably can’t afford something like that, not at the moment anyway.

Grant talks to Pip. Steven has been at a specialist due to his back pains and the specialist couldn’t found any serious damage with Steven’s back. He thought it was a strain so Steven got muscle-relaxing tablets to take.

He apologises. He say he have always liked Jennifer. She tells him to go after a while.

Steven is very upset and goes crazy in Alan’s caravan and messes all the things up in it. (Tense music).

Carly talks to Bobby about the good news of the loan for the boatshed which came through.

Carly acts as if it will feel good to stop working in Diner. Bobby gets annoyed since Carly make it sound as if it is the pits to work in the Diner.

Ben talks to Pippa about the boatshed plans. Pippa suggest Carly stays working in the Diner for the time being so they have a regular income coming in.

Pippa will help Ben and Carly out when they need her. Ben appreciates it. And Ben has to talk to Carly about her staying on at the Diner for the time being. They don’t think Carly will like the idea so much.

Steven talks to Jennifer on beach and she still says there can only be friendship between them. He seems to take it badly but say he can handle it. They get on better now and talks. (Emotional music).

Alf tell Stone to get out of his house before he throws him out!

Ben helps Sally with some work for school at home. Sally got to borrow Steven’s pencils earlier since her pencils are in school.

Ben talks to Steven about why he still keeps seeing Jennifer. Ben thinks it was a fake with the back problem just to keep out of school when Jennifer was to be in school for her art speech. He means Steven faked the back pains so Jennifer wouldn’t notice he is only in High School and that he are much younger than she thinks he is. Steven sort of admits it.

Pippa talks to Carly and Bobby in the Diner. Ben haven’t talked to Carly yet and Pippa tell Carly that she might have to stay on working in Diner for the time being since the boatshed income might not support them both for the time being. Carly seems depressed. Bobby thinks it all is quite funny since Carly couldn’t wait to stop working in the Diner!
