Clare is nervous when her sarcastic sister Jean, having lost her job, arrives to stay and criticizes everything, as well as walking in on her fellating Lachlan. Dirka, advised by Fist, refuses to pile on the pounds during her pregnancy but then Fist announces that she too wants a baby and cruises a bookshop to look for a father. Jackie sacks Rab and returns home, dismissive of Janice's good news that she has started as a reporter. At the book group Jean is dominant and Dirka and Fist are not especially welcoming to Carol Ann. Feeling that they are kindred spirits and both used by Jackie, Janice and Rab leave the group and start kissing.
