Roxy and Ronnie carry their bags downstairs. Roxy wants to know why they are giving in so easy. Ronnie asks who says they are? Ronnie says “she says she wants them gone but come lunchtime she’ll be begging for them to come back. Besides who’s going to run the place with her?” Just then Shirley walks through taunting them. Ronnie thinks Auntie Peg must have a screw loose asking her back. Shirley says it takes more than a push-up bra and a fake spray tan to make a good bar manager. Ronnie says she’ll see about that.

Carly wonders why the police haven’t come yet. Kevin thinks they must have more important things to do, or maybe they want to speak to Sean first. She says it only makes it worse for Sean.

Ronnie wonders why it is so difficult to pick up the phone and ask him to come home. Peggy yells at her that it’s because she doesn’t have a clue where he is! Ronnie goes to her.
