Desmond thinks Shirley is playing away when she begins to brag about her French teacher.

Desmond considers selling the shop to retire in Guyana early, when a smooth-talking businessman enters the shop. Deciding to apply for a loan to do up the shop instead, Desmond visits the bank only to find his eldest son Michael is the one who'll make the decision.

Michael decides that the shop needs more employees and he introduces Tony, who gets the job as Desmond's assistant.

Shirley's obnoxious older sister arrives but begins to annoy everyone when she takes without asking and does things how she wants in her sister's house.

Porkpie disappoints everyone when he doesn't celebrate Shirley's birthday, because he needs a TV licence.

Gloria is going on a date with a gay politician, while Desmond and Shirley get news that their old friend and former band member of The Georgetown Dreamers, Sweetsticks, has died.
