Another session with the marriage guidance counsellor and Joe is convinced counsellor Claire is a 'fruit loop': "you're hostile to men, you have your own car and a moustache bigger than mine..." just as he suspects Robbo at work to be. Joe says everything has been fine since their last session, but Dossa has not been feeling well at all and the counsellor thinks their problems could have something to do with her illness. Dossa thinks Joe has passed his malaise on to her but Joe will have none of that-he thinks it was his devoted nursing that brought her back to health and there is nothing else wrong with her. Robbo tries to get the boys to come to his gig on Saturday night, but ever the outsider (and convinced he's gay), the boys don't want to have anything to do with him. Dossa is under the weather so, for the first time in their 40 year marriage, Joe makes his wife two boiled eggs with toast cut into soldiers. Joe is very proud of himself, but Dossa is less than impressed. Vanessa visits Dossa in her sickbed and son Bobby drops in to cheer her up too. Ever the apple of his mother's eye, Bobby entertains them with his skilful playing of the 'pencils' and his imitation of a tap dripping, much to his parent's pride.
