Before heading overseas, Julia has promised to make it up to Tim for always cancelling 'Date Night', with a romantic evening for two. But a last minute threat from Independent MPs Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor to cross the floor with Bob Katter leaves Julia no choice but to make it a very special romantic occasion... for five.
With Julia set to guest star at Tim's public hairdressing event, a national emergency is sparked when she accidentally locks herself in The Lodge bathroom and fails to show up, leading security to believe she's been kidnapped by terrorists. Meanwhile, Tim tries to prove the whole thing's yet another prank by three naughty neighbourhood kids who find it endlessly hilarious that he's a male hairdresser.
At Tim's birthday party, Julia and Tim plan to announce a big step in their fragile relationship. Unfortunately, Julia thinks it's that Tim is taking a government position, while Tim thinks they're announcing wedding plans. Meanwhile, Julia plans to confront Kevin Rudd over what she believes is his constant leaking.
The couple have reached a cross roads at home while Julia has to prepare for a 'save her leadership' appearance on TV's Q&A.
