Brett's relationship with a 75kg Rottweiler by the name of Cujo has Kim's nose out of joint. Kim swears off men and takes up golf with Sharon. This leads Kath to suspect Kim is a lesbian. When Kath voices her theory to Kel, he reasons that homosexual activity isn't unusual or uncommon: after all he was in the navy for six years. Kath begins to question her relationship with Kel. Kim's out to sow her rolled oats and, with encouragement from Sharon, they go speed-dating at the local pub where Sharon meets fiddler Mark. None of the men are interested in Kim and she calls Brett to come rescue her.

Kel doesn't want a Buck's turn, but Kim doesn't think that's normal — blokes are supposed to write themselves off before their wedding — so she gets Brett to take him out on the tear.
