Steven goes to see Viv and talk about Tom and Viv’s Mum. Lorraine (Murray and Paul’s Mum) comes over to collect Murray and invites Sally to dinner, Murray isn’t so sure. The new floor in the Beach house is infected with fleas, the 3 of them leave the house to sleep at the surf club. The next day they buy a smoke bomb to get rid of the fleas. Steven apologises to Pippa about the night before and then goes to apologise to Ben, he still thinks the wedding is too soon though.

The landlord comes over to the Beach House and gets stuck with the smoke bomb so he throws it through the window and goes to the store to call the police. Adam finds it funny.
