Elizabeth takes the first step and Ed finds himself caught in the middle.

Susan鈥檚 starting to panic about the upcoming quiz. She鈥檚 glad her team鈥檚 a family affair with Jennifer, and is looking forward to pitting her wits against Tracy鈥檚 cricket team. She relishes using her newly discovered rich vocabulary on her radio slot. But as evening approaches and her show comes to an end, the nerves kick in. She has a drink to calm herself, which only makes her more confused as she goes over her revision flashcards once more.
Ed鈥檚 not looking forward to the quiz. The toss of a coin decided which team he鈥檇 join, and he鈥檚 landed with Tracy, to his mother-in-law鈥檚 annoyance. He鈥檚 tired after shearing and would rather just settle down with a beer and his wife. He thinks Emma is more of a Carter than a Horrobin. Tired of pussyfooting around Will, he鈥檚 lost his rag with him over parking on the yard and feels much better. They ended up laughing about it. He鈥檚 ducked out of the quiz and relaxes with a beer, watching his children play and being thankful for his clever, resourceful wife.
Elizabeth has an online date 鈥� with Ifty. She frets a little over her greying hair, but applies lipstick and perfume and goes for it. The 鈥榙ate鈥� is boring and a let-down, but it does show her she鈥檚 ready to consider not being on her own forever.
