User Reviews

"You're smart, you're tough.You're opinionated, you're dogmatic."

More drama for the Parker family, with Miranda coming across as a self-indulgent misery, refusing to go to work.Wasn't she the one accusing Steve of being irresponsible a few months back?We do get one nice moment of her being too wrapped up to notice Declan and Bridget making out in the front room but this is mostly stuff we've seen before.

Susan joins the increasingly large number of Ramsay Street residents working at Erinsborough News, although it's odd that Paul thinks the school won't employ someone with a criminal record when they employ him.Where's he been living recently anyway?When Elle said he could move back in, I'd forgotten he'd moved out.

Plot line number three:Declan being an idiot.Letting Josh play on his insecurities so he lies about what he and Bridget have been getting up to is just plain dumb.Interesting that Nicola's the one that has a go at him about it.Is this relationship really going to last?

As ever, the episode gets stolen by the characters with the least to do.Sienna's wry reaction to Miranda trying to get her to ban Toadie and flinging random insults at Paul.Donna using Bridget as her own personal doll and calling her hair a bird's nest.Even Ringo gets some decent lines.Nice to know someone's keeping track of who's a virgin and who isn't.
