Extended Summary
At school, Fisher wants to speak to Carly. He tells her he saw her spending time with Foley in the Diner. He doesn’t like it because of her romance with Foley earlier. Carly tells everyone at school that Foley is her therapist helping her deal with her alcohol problems. Fisher didn’t know that and he speaks to Pippa about it.
Fisher is worried as he suspects Morag invited Bobby to her party to give her trouble. He would like Tom and Pippa to be at the party as well for Bobby’s sake.
Leanne is sewing up Martin’s trousers for him to wear at work. One leg on the pants is too short and it’s not little either! Martin and Leanne are worried.
Martin goes over to work in those pants anyway and covers the short leg so Stacey and Roo would not notice it! After a while she sees it anyway and Roo sees it as well! Martin is embarrassed (funny music plays).
Bobby is out to shop for a dress to wear at Morag’s party. She sees a nice dress but it is expensive. The person in shop doesn’t bother to show the dress to Bobby because she reckons she can’t afford it. Bobby gets angry and leaves the shop!
Roo laughed a lot when she saw Martin’s pants. She will fix them for him. He will be in office without pants for the time being and will try not to get noticed!
Stacey tells Martin to stand up from his desk and she notices he has no pants on! Martin is even more embarrassed!
Bobby tells Pippa about the dress that was expensive and Fisher hears it as well.
Fisher buys the expensive dress for Bobby. It cost $500.
Fisher apologises to Carly for shouting at her earlier because she spends time with Andrew Foley. He reckons it is good that she is going to a therapist.
Roo has fun because of what happened earlier in the office with Martin’s pants!
Matt finds out that Leanne almost can’t read. He teaches her to read. She reads a comic book very slowly.
Fisher gives the $500 dress to Pippa. He wants Pippa and Tom to give it to Bobby without saying it was him whom bought it! Pippa is very surprised and suspect it must be Fisher who is Bobby’s father! (Emotional music plays)
