Ann prevents Meg rushing off to find Marty by telling her she's expecting to hear from Dan at any minute. Lexie points out to Rita that Kath no longer has any hold over her, so what is she planning to do about deposing Kath. Merle moves the parcel to Rita's locker, in the process upsetting Nancy with a badly timed imitation ("BIFF! POW!") of Captain Marvellous. The women find Meg in the rec room watching the news on TV. Vicki wins on the races: Rita flushes the radio down the toilet when she finds them in the shower block listening to it.
