Keen to befriend her new neighbours, Frances invites the Dingles over for a drink. The atmosphere is tense though and Cain is unnerved by Elaine’s persistent questions about the previous owners to the house. Getting up for work, Scott is annoyed to find the house is littered with the remnants of Mack and Syd’s previous night's drinking binge. When Syd emerges with a hangover, he is in no mood to battle with Scott so meekly apologises for the mess promising to clean it up at the first opportunity. When Syd arrives, he sees Mack is already at work and scolds him for letting him oversleep when they have such a big job to finish.
