Now firmly a couple, Dan and Cora move back to Australia to set up house together, but all is not well with the rest of the Moody clan. Kevin and Maree have put their home on the market, to Sean's outrage, who continues to squat there. Then Uncle Terry's Australia Day barbecue disintegrates into a flag-burning, jellyfish-stinging, territory-claiming disaster.

Bridget's Surprise 40th

Vote 1 Terry Moody
27 mins
Terry, in the final run up to his council election, is feeling terrible and requires blood tests. Sean, as self-appointed campaign manager, decides this is a great opportunity for gaining voter sympathy. The financial stress of the election is taking its toll, so too is breaking up with Yvonne.

Baby Shower Blues
26 mins
Roger hosts Bridget's baby shower and tries to start some rather odd party games, apparently all in the name of tradition. Much to Sean's delight, Maree digs out Bobby, Dan's 'crying' baby doll that he had until he was 12 years old. Cora grimaces at talk of 'her turn' as she's not entirely sure a baby is in her future plans at all. Dan is thrown by Cora's comment, as this is a revelation to him.

27 mins
The Moodys are suiting up for a wedding, but the ceremony is unexpectedly delayed by a trip to the hospital and a garbage truck. When the venue needs to change at the last minute, the family jumps to the task of reorganizing the event.
