Chris reveals that he doesn't know who killed the ducks but it wasn't him. He arrived shortly before the girls did .Eventually everyone believes him and after talking to Damien realise that he did it. Or at least paid for it to be done. Pete tells him to stick with the deal they need it. But Megan urges him to follow his heart and that to believe in fate as they'll be okay. (hehehe). Claire is disillusioned by it all angering Elly & Martha. The following day, Sonny & Alice prepare a surprise 20th bday party. Kim apologises to all and sundry about not being able to print the article. E-Street discovers the poisoning was deliberate and Max is told by George that maybe he wouldn't be so lonely if he tried to bond with teh locals instead of enforcing Law. Max asks for an invite to the party. Harley allows it to be hosted in his room at the Rectory and that Bob isn't invited. He complies as long as after Harley drives Sonny to the CES (Jobsearch for all those who don't know)he does the gardening. Let me put it this way, none of that happens. They spend the day out at the park drinking beer and mucking around. It would have been very straight for the Early 90s but in this form it just appears slightly homo-erotic and Sonny says that he's gonna get his girl (Kim) even though Harley declares she's out of his league. He also Confesses to Harley that Nick took the coke. Nothing is mentioned of what happened to him afterwards. (Presumably he died). Alice accidentally blurts out about the party to Lisa but they agree to keep it a surprise. Alice says that she has one surprise planned that Lisa doesn't know about. (I thought it was Wheels but it wasn't). She also receives a new leather carrybag from Sonny & a beautiful silk scarf from Wheels which Sonny cringes at. Abby & Ernie host a Cabaret night to raise money for the E-street action fund. They do and meanwhile Chris goes to sign the deal with damien but backs out at the last minute. Damien wishes him good luck but calls him stupid. Elly arranges for David to babysit Claire whilst Toni goes out to Lisas party as Elly & Martha want a night out. They turn up at the Pub but during Abby's 2nd act, Damien strides in yelling about how someone will pay for this. They walk outside and find Damiens' car totally covered in duck feathers (or some animal). Damien drives off with everyone laughing and wondering who could've done it. Martha brushes a feather off the side of Elly's ear under her hair. Elly smiles and they laugh. Elly did it!. Meanwhile at the party Alice's surprise works and her special gift, a stripper. However quarter of the way through her act the Stripper, Nigel, stops and runs out. Alice chases after and they talk and realise that this is Nigels' first performance to get himself through Uni. Alice comes up with a plan. Kim goes to leave but Sonny convinces her to let him walk her back and to return to the flat for a coffee. Alice drags Nigel back up to the room where everyone is down to their underwear/boxers. (Harley is wearing nothing but jocks & Paul is wearing boxers. The others aren't really defined and it does appear as if Toni is still clothed alot but its hard to tell. Max has a hairy chest, Harley looks comfortable wearing nothing and Paul tells Bob later that they were a xmas gift from his grandmother and if he tells anyone he'll kill Bob). Nigel ends up stripping and partly infront of Bob who is slightly startled. Meanwhile back at the Flat, Sonny breaks down and confesses that he still is doing drugs. Kim asks him if he wants to kick it. Sonny says that he does but he needs someone. Kim says no but after Sonny breaks down a little more she regretfully says "Yes". Kim begins to regret saying so as Sonny from behind her smiles and does his evil stare. The Reign of Sonny has begun...
