Jamie is receiving death threats by letter and text and,after his lock-up is torched and Karen's blouse nailed to the door,suspects that one of the pub regulars is in league with his tormenters. After Karen is attacked he agrees to meet the gang responsible and give them two hundred thousand pounds to back off but is shocked when he discovers who is behind the threats. Whilst Frank,now sacked,claims he has had sex by proxy with all the estate through 'Sex Degrees of Separation' Avril wrongly diagnoses Patty with terminal leukaemia,which gives Patty the opportunity to insult the whole estate. However Avril has cause to think again when the real results come through.

Frank está encargado de decirle a Patty que está gravemente enferma, pero ella ya lo sabe y le pide que la ayude a ver Irlanda antes de morir. Sin fondos para el viaje en ferry, la lleva a la playa de Waterloo, donde ella jura que puede ver su país de origen. A petición de ella, la deja sola y, al regresar, descubre que ella ha tomado las cosas en sus propias manos. Mientras Mimi se prepara para su aniversario de bodas, sus constantes críticas hacia el padre de Ruby llevan a Ruby a tomarla como rehén con un cuchillo, con consecuencias trágicas. Dominic lleva el amor fraternal a otro nivel con Gloria, pero Jackson, al enterarse del affaire de Avril con el joven Calum del trabajo, la abandona.

Mimi is now heading the PTA at the local school and twists Frank's arm into becoming the janitor so that he can pick the magic mushrooms in the adjoining field. This does allow him to finance his latest venture with the Gastric Bandits,prostitutes Sherilee and Derrilee. Following a riot on the discovery that the alleged genuine London Olympic ring awarded the estate is,due to a mix-up,a fraud, half the estate are arrested and given community service,which particularly rankles with Avril,who,after her husband's departure,has moved with Letitia into her snobbish sister Patreesha's house. Jamie discovers that Paddy was not his father and travels to Leeds to meet Kassi,his half-brother by their now deceased parent. The meeting does not go well and Jamie makes matters worse when Kassi comes to see him at the pub,throwing him out in anger. Shane,however,finds some contentment,with his new venture - a festival site - and an affair with a policewoman.
