Matt finds Sheila walking along the road in the middle of the night. She's been out searching for Chris, who's sleepwalking again, and had a nasty encounter with a man who tried to pick her up. Unused to feeling so vulnerable, it's left Sheila rattled. The next day, Chris is shocked to learn about his sleepwalking misadventure and admits he's been taking the sleeping pills again.

The surprise party is missing the guest of honour, until Lou shows up after a near fatal miss with a ‘widow maker' gum tree. He is delighted to see Lolly but explains why tonight could be his last. Lauren becomes concerned as Lou grows sentimental, despite everyone's insistence he is being silly about the family ‘curse'. Bailey asks about an old photo of Lou during his army conscription.
