Robbie is increasingly worried about Tina who can't stop exhausting herself on the renovation of their Victorian ruin, baby Nicholas, job and regular household. Syd is startled when Owen's family arrives for their formal engagement party: sister Anny he's so close to she feels excluded and their parents Charles and Nora, who seems suspicious and even critical of everything, she even takes a couple compatibility test; the pair behaves suspiciously, almost like spies, for a surprising reason. Only Jim misses the party, as he participates in a lab animal abuse protest and to ever-supportive Robbie's sympathetic amusement now has to be bailed out of jail.
