Having stumbled into a mess in the kitchen as Will cooks their evening meal, Rosetta demands that they attempt to tidy the house. The response is lacking and Rosetta grows more frustrated suggesting they try and find some professional cleaning help. Frazer agrees that it may be a good idea, but Will doesn?t feel comfortable forcing someone to clean up their mess.

Encouraged by her sister Carmella attempts to ask out Will. She is reluctant to do so at first given her problems with trying to seduce Ned but manages to pluck up the courage and attempts to ask Will out as he servers behind the counter at the Scarlet bar. Will is slow to pick up on her intentions and Carmella manages to knock a glass off the counter by accident as she asks him if he is up to much later. The contents of the glass hit Will and an embarrassed Carmella backs out of the Scarlet Bar muttering apologies. After admitting her gaff to Pepper and Rosetta back at number 30 and after they rebuild her confidence, Carmella returns to the Scarlet Bar to try again. This time she manages to get the words out without mishap but Will responds weakly. He agrees to go on the date as he hears that it was Rosetta?s idea that Carmella ask him out.

Pepper demands answers from Frazer after finding out that ?Frazer Yeats? doesn?t exist according to police records checked by her father. Frazer admits that he made the name up but explains that he did it as part of an attempt to start over. He explains to Pepper that when he was 16 he decided to change who he was getting new clothes, a new haircut and changing his name.

After reading a note that was passed around class which explained that Madison was saying Zeke was ?all talk and no action? Zeke attempts to restore his new cooler persona. After talking up his closeness to Pepper he gets a opportunity to back up his words as Rosetta approaches him and offers him a job as the number 30 cleaner. Whilst dusting off a rug in the back garden of number 30 he comes across a pair of Peppers pants hanging on a clothes horse. He quickly pockets them and returns to his friends in the General Store showing off the pants he had swiped.

The number 30 residents get a scare as Frazer is found unconscious in the back garden. He had been sitting at his laptop betting and making calls. Pepper and Rosetta find him sitting with his eyes closed in his chair. They attempt to talk to him as his phone is ringing but begin to realise something is wrong as he doesn?t respond. He is found to be unconscious and a spanner is lying just behind him which seems to have been used to knock him out. He is rushed to Erinsborough Hospital though remains unconscious for some time. As he comes round Pepper confronts him demanding answers. The attack coupled with finding out his name was a lie sees her questioning who he really is. Frazer attempts to laugh it off and isn?t phased as Pepper whispers about a phone call Will had taken whilst Frazer was unconscious saying ?Little Frankie?s been shot?. As Pepper continues to worry Frazer grows more serious and tells her he will explain what is going on.

Will continues to fend off his mysterious benefactor. After the mass of cash sent to him through the post he is tailed by an expensive Bentley car. He attempts to ignore it but eventually walks towards it and yells for the occupant to leave him alone. The window winds down and a set of keys are dangled before him. He attempts to wave them away but he eventually snatches them. He continues to say he wants nothing from the mystery person. The window of the car is wound up and it moves away.
