With Louise gone, Rodney finally realises how strong his feelings are for her and is stunned when she suddenly walks in to Chez Marlon. The kids are anxious about attending Miss Strickland's funeral. They hold a meeting to discuss the subject and eventually agree to attend. Ollie is horrified to learn that the school would like her to do a reading at Miss Strickland's funeral.
