Grant and Fisher make their peace. Lance and Marilyn are arrested.

Extended Summary

Celia gets Marilyn to support the Africa Awareness Week fund raising by donating a small amount of the profit of the hot-dog stand.

Martin and Adam are very worried as to how to tell Lance that his car has been stolen!

Martin acts innocent to Lance and says that the car is on repair for 24 hours. Martin says there was something wrong with the battery in the car. Lance is a bit annoyed.

A mysterious customer wearing shades comes into Alf’s store. He had also rented the X-rated “documentary” and discovered what kind of movie it really is!

Bobby tells Fisher that Grant will be coming over for dinner since she invited him. Fisher gets a bit angry as he doesn’t like Grant.

Marilyn also rented the X-rated porn video which she thinks is a documentary about starving people from Alf’s store to support the Africa Awareness Week as she didn’t know what kind of movie it actually is.

Marilyn watches it with Lance and Martin. When they notice it is actually a porn movie, Marilyn gets very offended. Lance and Martin seem to like it but Marilyn is angry and takes it back to Celia straight away.

Marilyn tells Celia about the porn video. Celia is shocked. Alf thinks the whole thing is quite fun!

Bobby and Viv are messing around while making dessert. Bobby’s brand new shirt gets a bit torn and ripped.

Grant calls over at Fishers for dinner. Fisher answers the door. There is a great tension between Fisher and Grant naturally. Grant tries his hardest to get along with Fisher.

During dinner, Fisher has a go at Grant on almost everything Grant says about the schoolwork etc. Grant gives up and leave in the middle of the dinner!

While Alf is out driving he spots Lance’s car deserted on a road.

Alf tells Lance about it. Martin drags Lance away so Lance won’t find out about it being stolen.

Martin and Adam collect the car. There is no damage to the car. They bring it back to Lance.

Ailsa suggests Grant should apologise to Fisher for the dinner disaster, which really wasn’t Grant’s fault at all. Bobby and Grant can’t see the reason to apologise as it was all Fisher’s fault. After a while they both realise it could be the best thing to do anyway under the circumstances.

Grant apologises to Fisher in his office. Fisher is very surprised that Grant has the courage to apologise. Grant promise that he will always tell Fisher first if he gets more innovative ideas of the way of teaching, instead of just using the ideas straight away.

While Lance and Marilyn are out in Lance’s car, a police car chases them.

Lance stops the car. The two cops hold their guns and tell them to get out of the car with their hands over their hands. Marilyn and Lance are very shocked and don’t understand why.

The police searches through Lance’s car and find two balaclavas which the couple who stole the car apparently used to cover their faces during a robbery that now Lance and Marilyn are getting suspected for!

Marilyn and Lance get arrested for a bank robbery! They are very puzzled naturally as they don’t know anything about the whole thing…
