Extended Summary

Les told Colleen the reason why his tie was not in a Windsor knot like she did for him in the morning. He said that he was in the Council Waiting Room and there were all of these young people in there waiting for an interview. He felt like an old duffer, old enough to be their father so he broke into a cold sweat. He had to go to the bathroom and splash cold water on his face and undo his tie. But then he put his tie back on and went into the interview and wowed them (he is lying of course!)!
Colleen believed Les and let him borrow money out of her secret savings to buy some new clothes (she hid the money in an old baked bean container in the freezer!).

When Colleen came home later, she found Les gone and all of their money too. She lied to Ailsa and Leah and told them that he had got a job in Brisbane and had to leave….

Alf has given in to Rhys running a kiosk at the Surf club (with a little push from Ailsa) and told him that he would not object to him putting in an application. They shook hands.

Rhys told Dani to stop playing with Will’s feelings and she told him that his relationship advice sucked (because she doesn’t like Will).
