Lynda enthuses over her latest literary heroine, Tess, to Anisha. She rather bites off more than she can chew as Anisha engages her in a debate about the empowerment of women in fiction. Relieved at the arrival of Lilian, Lynda changes the focus to dogs. Anisha and Lilian agree they don't approve of the fete theme 'Pets' Party Pieces'. Lynda announces she's teaching Monty to count to ten for the fete. Lilian's rattled, and declares she can easily enter Ruby too; her only problem will be which of Ruby's talents to showcase.

Josh teases Rex about Xanthi's flirting. Rex is insistent that there was nothing in it, he's committed to Anisha and Xanthi knows it. Josh counters that Pip thinks Xanthi's in love; Rex should feel flattered. Josh comments that he's always thought Rex had a thing for Pip. Rex quickly denies this; it was always Toby. He resolves to come clean about the Xanthi incident to Anisha.

Anisha's reaction when she's told about Xanthi isn't exactly as Rex expects. Amused, she declares she couldn't care less - though it was sweet of Rex to mention it. She proposes a toast to her hunky, fanciable boyfriend. But Rex is disappointed.
