Nabakov’s Cocoon is front page news for all of the wrong reasons and Bruno is furious – it looks like his private members’ club could go down the pan. Hazel arrives to find Bruno taking out his frustrations on Lucy who is trying her best to remain positive – how was Shannon to know that all of their kitchen staff were illegal immigrants? Luckily, Hazel has done some damage limitation but Bruno will have to close the club for a while until it all blows over. However, Bruno’s still choosing to blame Lucy for the mess the club is in and flies into a rage, smashing a picture of her in the process.
Now that he knows that Seb’s a steroid user, Roger is watching him like a hawk. Unaware of what Seb has been up to, Jackie thinks that Roger is simply being too strict, especially when she comes across one of their new punishing morning training sessions. Seb isn’t too happy about the new regime either, particularly as he’s having to give his dad regular urine samples. Still, he’s touched by the fact that his new step-mum seems to be going out of her way to stick up for him.
Even after her documentary accidentally revealed illegal goings-on at Nabakov’s Cocoon, Shannon is still determined to continue with it. Still desperate to raise her profile, Shannon is also getting stuck into the charity work with a vengeance. As always, she manages to take things to the extreme and ‘Adopts-a-Granny’! Harley is livid – his wife’s greed for celebrity is ruining their lives and now he’s sharing his mansion with an old age pensioner!
Amber revels in playing the pop princess when she is interviewed live by DJ Neil Fox to promote her single, ‘Bhangra Bootie’. She’s convinced that it will be a number one hit but is only too aware of how tough it will be to change her image. Conrad meanwhile indulges in a drastic but artistic display of affection to win his wife back. When Amber arrives home, she finds him almost passed in pain and with blood seeping through his shirt. She gasps when she sees the enormous tattoo on Conrad’s back, spelling out the names ‘Amber’ and ‘Phoenix’. It seems that it’s about time that she took him back properly.
Hazel and the team are surprised to hear that their new star player hasn’t made Roger’s team list for the next match. Hazel can’t understand Roger’s treatment of Seb – he’s the best player they’ve got, why isn’t he on the pitch? But it seems that Seb is happy to stir the situation behind his dad’s back and when Conrad steps in to stick up for him, it’s clear that he might have even managed to drive a wedge between Captain and Manager.
Lucy has resorted to the Internet as a way of making friends away from Bruno’s watchful eye. Hazel is becoming deeply concerned about Lucy and invites her out for lunch. Lucy denies any problems with her marriage and offers to prove it with an impromptu dinner party. Unfortunately, Bruno has decided to try and make up for the sudden closure of the club by inviting the lads around on the same night. Bruno is annoyed when he discovers that his lad’s night clash with his wife’s dinner party, but with Hazel on the guest list, there’s nothing he can do about it.
After dinner, the lads play pool and Bruno manages to get Seb to break his promise to Roger by talking him into getting stuck into the vodka. Much to Bruno’s chagrin, the women are having a much better time next door, watching firemen stripping on the Internet! Lucy is happy to finally get the chance to have a laugh with her friends, but what will Bruno think of it all? She finds out when they are alone that night. Bruno leaves her feeling terrified and alone, with only one person left to turn to…her new Internet friend.
Harley is already beginning to lose patience with their pensioner in residence, Mrs Birkeham. He could just about tolerate her endless demands making them late for the Milligan’s party, but when she interrupts a steamy session between him and Shannon, it seems that she really has outstayed her welcome. Over at the Webb’s, Seb arrives home as pissed as a newt to find Jackie alone. He takes his chance – with a kiss! Jackie is mortified…or is she?
