Shirley and Gloria are away for the weekend and a struggling mother leaves her baby with Desmond, Michael, Tony, Porkpie and Matthew. This could mean trouble.
Matthew reveals he has lied to his family in the Gambia and his sister and brother-in-law are paying a visit expecting Matthew to be a successful businessman.
Shirley is upset and goes out for the day. She meets a poor lady and they become friends. Desmond is too preoccupied with a dominoes contest to realise that Shirley has a problem.
Porkpie starts a protest against the Channel Tunnel. Gloria fails her exams and tries to hide it from Desmond. After seeing an old friend as a model, Gloria then decides that she would like to do the same but not all is as it seems.
