Bobby takes desperate measures to put paid to Floss’ prediction. Meanwhile, Lance and Martin get the wrong end of the stick.
Extended Summary
Floss takes Neville to Frank’s new car. Neville says that Floss got the plate wrong so everything’s OK, however Floss says that she thinks this is the car she dreamt about and they have to do sometihng. They debate over whether to tell Bobby; Floss comes up with an idea, but doesn’t tell Neville what it is. Bobby is pricing some tins in the shop when Floss comes and they have a chit chat about inflation. They then talk about Bobby staying at the Stewart’s. Bobby says that she doesn’t want anything to do with the Fletcher’s and Floss plays along.
Martin, Lance and Frank are at Summer Bay House. Frank says he gave the car the “tin foil” test to check there was no rust. Lance practices sitting on a stool to play his guitar. Carly returns home and Frank offers her a ride in his car. She ignores him and walks straight upstairs. Pippa is at the top of the stairs. She says that Lynn has said that Carly has told her she’s dropped out of The Mercado. Carly shrugs and walks into her bedroom.
Floss returns home from the store with seven tins of tomato soup: Neville doesn’t like tomato soup, but Floss says she needed to buy something. However she tells Neville that Bobby probably won’t be going anywhere near any of the Fletchers.
Carly talks to Pippa in her bedroom about Fisher catching her hugging Mr Foley. She says it’s just because Fisher is jealous of Mr. Foley’s popularity with the students. Carly talks about who unfair it all is and how she’s given Fisher the chance to get rid of Foley. Pippa walks out into the caravan park. She bumps into Fisher who is walking towards the house. Lance and Martin observe from nearby. They have a brief chat before going to the house. Lance and Martin have overheard and they discuss that they should “fix” Foley. Fisher and Pippa talk at the house about what actions should be taken. Pippa goes off on one, but Fisher says that he came to say that he doesn’t think the Fletcher’s need go off on one. Pippa tells Fisher that she thinks Foley has done a wonderful job in bringing Carly back out her shell after her rape. Pippa tells Carly that Fisher that it’s not going to go any further.
Some girls play with a ball outside the school. Foley walks out and intercepts the ball before throwing it back to them. Martin asks Lance what Foley was doing hanging around young girls and that someone should sort him out. Lance points out the Martin had already said he would and Martin finally plucks up the courage and gives Foley a piece of his mind, before he and Lance run off, leaving Foley and the girls slightly dumbfounded.
Bobby is at the shop. Frank comes around and says he wants to talk to her. He wants to know why Bobby is so agro at the moment. He’s got a new car and he wants to show her. Frank tells her she’s getting a ride if she wants it or not. Floss and Neville are outside their caravan. Floss eats some of the tomato soup, whilst Nev digs his heels in about trying it. Frank and Bobby arrive in Frank’s new car. Frank goes into the house for a towel. Floss walks over to Bobby and tells her they need to have a talk.
Lance and Martin are at the Fletcher’s looking for some bandanas after scoring a gig at the Yabbie Creek RSL. Martin cryptically tells Pippa that he and Lance have sorted Foley out, leaving Pippa completely confused as to what he is talking about. Floss and Neville are talking to Bobby in the caravan about Floss’ dream. Bobby tells Floss that she hates having this dumped on her and storms out the caravan. Frank walks over with the towels and asks Bobby is she’s ready. Bobby tells him to “rack off”.
Martin and Lance are getting ready for their gig at the Yabbie Creek RSL. Foley comes to visit Carly and tells Pippa about what happened outside the school early during the day.
Martin and Lance return from what seems like a disasterous gig. Someone even broke Lance’s guitar. Carly bursts into the caravan and starts hitting them with a pan about how they’ve ruined Foley’s career. An explosion is heard and they all rush and are joined by Floss and Neville. Frank’s car is burning. Nearby, Bobby hides in the bushes.
