The family have a decision to make. Should they move to Cockaigne to be nearer their Father’s new job? Or should they stay? No one has made their mind up yet, and they decide that unless they all agree to move, they won’t be moving.

The brother’s parents, Owen and Lily, are becoming freer and no longer ashamed of nudity and sex. They don’t even wait for their sons to be asleep before having sex, and they aren’t quiet about it.
When they go to the community, will the boys have to be innoculated? If so Max’s hesitancy about nudity will disappear. Min will be overjoyed seeing all those penises. Maybe even hooking up with Adam
