George in crowded house, dreaming of solitude, like jellyfish. Wants Woodie to fix Monty’s roof - who says "yeah nah". George wants to work - why can’t Monty go to his office? Because he knows what he does annoys people. Even at work, there’s no peace - Shaun interrupts with his problems. George calls a family meeting - time for guests to leave.

Since all the guests are there because Arlo or Shay invited them, they have to send them packing. Things do not quite go as planned, which leads George to ponder just how empty he wants his nest to be. He’s a bit discombobulated at Arlo moving into Big Mac’s with Lindsay. Then it turns out Shay is moving out too, with Siouxsie, to house sit. Shay all independence, George not quite ready. Mind you, Shay might be ready either: her plan for food is to raid George's pantry.

One way of getting Woodie out is to reunite him with Tracey. Both are heart-broken: Tracey says Poppy is lovely, just like her dad, sob sob, then Katie finds her crying in toilet. Woodie no better, has trouble moving. George tries to convince Tracey, “this is Woodie” and his unique way of looking at world. Does not want to talk with him. Another plan - Woodie has to talk to Tracey to get Poppy into school. Does Woodie get the point of the meeting with Tracey? Poppy does, obviously. He does try as he leaves, Tracey cuts him off. But eventually, all ends well - George and Poppy get Woodie up on his feet and ready to talk to to Tracey - clearing out whole book club in process. Say something Woodie! Can't - George does the honours.

Hannah gets Monty out of the house. George now all by himself, family all gone, but it turns out he has mates so is not really alone.
