"It's nice to be needed"

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

An episode where everyone overreacts and pays the price.Toadie overreacts when Rebecca challenges him, leading her to go against him. Rebecca overreacts when Toadie is rude to her, leading to her potentially ruining their case.Bridget overreacts when she finds out Rachel has been lying to her and loses a friend.Rachel overreacts when Bridget insults her and, er, loses a friend.As well as punishing Declan, who for once is innocent in it all.And Paul overreacts when everyone ignores him and ends up lying to everyone.

The episode actually hangs together very well, with Bridget's habit of giving people both barrels without getting her story straight being a nice echo of her treatment of Frazer just a few episodes ago.Rebecca's obsession with the class action has been building throughout the last few episodes and here she demonstrates why it's best to leave things to people who know what they're doing.And Harold gives another suggestion that he might be leaving.

Only bad bit:Paul's very strange reaction shot on being left alone in the hotel room, where it's hard to work out exactly what emotion Stefan Dennis is trying to convey.
