After David's acquittal Cleaver and Nicole worry about Barney, but then Cleaver gets himself disbarred and Wendy kicks him out. But Jack is determined to get him out of Wendy's life forever.

After David's acquittal, Nicole and Cleaver worry about Barney. But the next day Cleaver makes a disparaging remark to a journalist about the judge and the legal fraternity, unaware that her cameraman's recording it.

Cleaver's rant against the judiciary has made news and is about to see him disbarred, but in the meantime he's out for a celebratory lunch with David.

While Missy and Fuzz are getting on like a house on fire, Cleaver fears that Wendy's old flame Jack might be winning her over. After he's disgraced himself again, he finds they'd rather he moved out.

Jane appears on Cal McGregor's show and they make an instant connection, but when Cleaver hears she's been badmouthing him, he declares that even 'standing for nothing' he could beat her in a race for the Senate.

Barney was now hoping for reconciliation with Nicole, but she surprises him when she reveals she's marrying Bevan. Little does Nicole know that Bevan is planning the ultimate revenge...

Meanwhile, Cleaver, with no job and no fixed abode, finds himself in the queue at Centrelink. Even his attempt to confess his sins doesn't give him any comfort when the priest accuses him of being selfish. But Wendy hears he's trying to reform, and decides to let him stay.

Jack has to get Cleaver out of Wendy's life, and with momentum building for his ludicrous campaign, she sees her chance. She becomes his campaign manager and convinces the unemployed and destitute Cleaver that a six year parliamentary term, with 200K plus salary package with expenses, a Super scheme, and Commonwealth drivers, is just what he needs.
