They pash even though Libby tells Drew that they've got to do the dishes first. They ignore the dishes totally.

They finally get everything ready, the dishes are still by the sink and the two of them rushes out of the house to go to the coffee shop for breakfast.

Libby is at home fixing up her work place when Drew comes back. He has brought home a three legged chair and Libby comments that it feels as though she's gone through some time warp. She explains to Drew that it's because her dad used to bring back all these broken furniture but never fixes them. Drew tells Libby a bit of glue should do it. Libby asks Drew when would he have time to fix the chair? She puts her arms around him and he tells her that the chair could wait. They begin to pash when Brain busters come on radio and Libby goes over to listen to it.

She apologizes to Drew for rushing out on their first weekend home together but she thinks that this could be the story of the month. She kisses him goodbye and thanks him for being so understanding. Drew tells her that even if he wanted to stop her he wouldn't be able to. After Libby leaves, he continues to fix the chair.

Drew is at home by himself watching the cricket when Steph arrives. She brings over a bean bag for Drew and comments that it was her mother's idea.

That night, Libby comes home with her story while Drew is still watching TV. Libby sees the bean bag and asks where he got it from. He tells her that it's a gift from Steph. Libby lies on it and tells him that she likes it but she has to go do her story. She asks him if it's Ok and he tells her that if she can put up with his greasy overalls then he can put up with her flexible work hours. Later that night, Drew has just finished making dinner and Libby has finished  her article. They both sit down and eat.

Drew laughs and tells Libby that he knows that he couldn't. They begin to eat and Libby tells Drew that there's something missing. Drew doesn't seem to think there is. Libby asks Drew to think of something that would complete the picture. Drew tells Libby that it seems pretty complete to him. Libby hints to Drew by saying "pitter patter pitter patter."
