Well, the budget cutbacks that they needed after the last episode are very obvious here as the entire cast go down with a tummy bug and only five people turn up to Lucas and Elle's engagement party.It does feel like there's a lot of poor characterisation going on here, most notably with Dan.He tries to end Lucas and Elle's engagement for his brother's sake but doesn't even seem to consider the effect this will have on him.Paul's reaction is as to be expected and it's nice that his attempt to talk to Elle about things is what convinces her that she and Lucas should be together.
Karl and Susan put in a pretty poor showing as parents here, telling Ben and Callum that they don't need to do their homework and, as Callum says, giving them an activity suited for four-year-olds.But there is at least the first hint of a storyline for Callum. Unfortunately it looks like it's going to involve Susan.
