- Simon and Vicky are visited by Simon's well-to-do brother Nicholas, his American wife Melanie, and their overly-precocious ten-year-old daughter Fern who finds fault with everything Simon and Vicky have or do.
- Alf Muldoon returns to Wandin Valley from his travels abroad in America. Simon and Vicky are visited by Simon's well-to-do brother Nicholas, his American wife Melanie, and their overly-precocious ten-year-old daughter Fern who finds fault with everything Simon and Vicky have or do. Hospitalised with back troubles incurred while on a date with Daphne Dalrymple (changing her flat tire coming back from the drive-in), Cookie is concerned Roger McLean will hear of his injury and return to town to find his upscale "Burke and Wills" hotel reverted back to a common pub and will fire him. Molly takes Chloe to the fauna reserve but is upset to see Muldoon is busy making plans to build a water park on the site. Brendan asks her not to take up the fight and questions her priorities when she wants to stand against him in the upcoming council election. Simon learns about Molly's leukemia when he intercepts a phone call from the Sydney Hospital at the clinic. While angry at Terence for not being told, Simon agrees to abide by Molly's wish not to tell Vicky. At the Bowen's barbecue, Nicholas tells Simon about his emotional breakdown.

Melanie is upset by Nicholas' decision to quit his high paying job to take on a humble university teaching position. Her primary concern is obviously for her extravagant lifestyle which earns her an impassioned lecture from Simon about her selfish behaviour when he sees she is prepared to walk out on her family. Bev routes Roger McLean's phone call to Cookie in hospital where Bob, Esme, and Judy provide the ambient background noise befitting the upscale clientele Roger wants for his bistro. Fern looks after a sick koala she finds in the fauna reserve. Brendan is not happy about Molly's decision to run in the council election but changes his mind when Muldoon questions her ability to do the job and suggests she step aside. With the new club due to be opened, Muldoon ties Cookie's rehiring to his public support of Muldoon in the election. Told to put Muldoon's campaign poster up in some "reasonabley prominent spot", Cookie puts it over top the dart board.
