To Dylan's jealous dismay, Sky is turning around to her provocative arts teacher Jean-Pierre, who later confesses to Sky he's really an Aussie called John Peter Valasco, and takes her suggestion to make it JP. Ned is barked at for warning Stu that getting back with Sindi will only cause him grief again, but really enjoys giving Paul another nit-picking parking ticket and especially identifying his sock, Izzy blames it on Elle again. Angie is ecstatic to hear her husband big Kev is returning; when clearly neither intends to apologize, Connor and Toadie, desperate to get rid of her mothering, start a determined shuttle-diplomacy till they agree she'll get a truckers license and join him on the road after a camping holiday. Sky got food-poisoning after eating beans at the General Stoe, so Paul blames Elle and Dylan; their jobs are at stake, depending on the health inspection. When Sindi accepts to get back with Stu in Colak, it rains on that party for Toadie when his parents commandeer him to join them camping. The trousers gang is disbanded with a bang: public quartet stripping.
