With the homeless Jamie sleeping on Zoe's sofa the house hunting begins in earnest though it takes a while for Zoe and Alec to find a home upon which they both agree and even then their troubles are far from over. Not only does Alec employ a cowboy builder but the house just happens to be opposite Simone,who does not approve of her father living in sin on her doorstep. Hilary,meanwhile,decides to learn Esperanto.
