One of the Gang

A big night out on the town results in a car being driven off Pearl Bay's condemned bridge. Several of the locals are under suspicion but when Sergeant Grey finally discovers that it was Reg - the popular garbage collector, who has recently been pulled up on his third drink-driving offence - Laura finds herself in one of the greatest dilemmas she's faced since arriving in Pearl Bay.

When Laura is the only person not invited to Bob and Heather's annual anniversary bash, she decides to conform. She dresses like a local, joins Heather's 'reading' group and even seeks advice from Diver Dan. Miranda makes her own bid for acceptance - by sunbathing nude.

Bob is feeling the pressure of being the 'big man' in the town. Not only is he called upon to help Reg, but he's in financial trouble and has to move deftly to save himself and his plans for the future of Pearl Bay.
