It's 1985 in Wandin Valley and this is a big episode that many of you have suggested we talk about: it has both a trans storyline, and deals with childhood obesity.
We meet Alice McKenna, a woman living in the Valley with a secret that comes out when she goes into hospital with diabetes. Alice is a trans woman.
And, we gave her friend, Gavin, a little boy teased for being fat.
How does Wandin Valley treat these people? Like the leftie Utopia we think it is? Or is it more complicated, and, well, 1980s?
Kim finds some personal accounts of being trans in the 1980s, Melanie looks into the incredible life of Bunney Brooke.
