Val gives Mick something to think about. Nat is amazed to hear what Jules has told Georgia. Mike asks Lindsey to promise not to go back to Gary, and considers moving to America. Sammy's plans for Max look likely to succeed.

Both Val and Fee are chasing Sinbad, and Mick isn't amused. Danny has another idea about how to reduce Leo's workload. Nat objects when Georgia wants to join him in the shower. Ron and Jackie decide to try to bring Mike and Lindsey together, and Sammy tells Susannah she has slept with Max.

Sammy is furious when Max sacks her, and when Leo gets a good grade for the homework Danny obtained for him, Tinhead wants to join in.

Susannah discovers that Max has sacked Sammy, and reinstates her. Tinhead gets an "A" for his homework, but still isn't satisfied. Sinbad's women make him do too much exercise on the tennis court and dance floor, and Ron disapproves of Bev's attempts to help resolve the parking problems.

Jimmy starts work at the pizza parlour. When Georgia returns, Nat has to admit that she was right about Jules. Although Danny escapes from Tinhead, Leo is beaten up, and Mick's reaction looks likely to lead to more trouble.

When Ollie asks Mick for an explanation of the incident involving Danny, and receives some of the same treatment, Val confides in Sinbad that Mick is taking steroids. Jacqui and Peter have high hopes for the Hair Fayre, but Bev and Fee muscle in on their chat with the judge, and Max and Susannah don't get quite the kind of publicity that they expect.

Both Bev and Jackie have ideas for the engagement buffet, but can they reach a compromise? Susannah demands proof of Sammy's latest assertion, but can she deliver it? Sinbad's efforts to help Mick are not appreciated.

JC wants to sort out some wedding details, but Nat is more intent on stalling. Half of Mike and Lindsey's families are refusing to attend their engagement party, and the other half are still arguing about it.

Mike and Lindsey are about to set off on holiday to America, but he wants to record an interview with her first. Jackie insists that Jimmy grasses on Macca to save his own job. There is a major surprise awaiting Max when he returns unexpectedly to the cottage.

Jimmy is still worrying about Macca, but Nat is much more worried that Max will tell his parents what he has seen. Can he produce a convincing explanation for why he was having sex with his sister?

Sammy tells a lie in order to entice Noel back. And, on Nat and Jules' wedding day, someone makes a dramatic entrance when the vicar asks whether there are any known impediments.......
