After calling Molly to come pick him up, Brendan informs Terence and Frank about the joy riding geriatrics and a search is started. The seniors in the meantime have chosen to continue on and after stopping for a picnic, return to town where they stop in at the Burke and Wills for champagne and some singing and dancing. Maggie has a frank talk to Bob about their relationship, reiterating that they are only friends, no more. Fed up with the rules and regulations at the pub, Bob and Cookie set up a keg in Bob's house to serve their friends. Bert wants his friends to stop remembering the past and start living for today and tomorrow and after Maggie finds them at the pub and returns them to hospital, the seniors demand they be given more respect and more control over their lives. At Frank's suggestion, Roger hires Bert as a odd job man for the hotel and gives him room and board.
