* Date First Aired: 27/12/1997
Tracey and Sharon have gotten new jobs at a casino, where they take place in a publicity stunt where Sharon appears to win £1,000,000. However, the sisters are unaware that this scheme is all a ploy by Davey Cooper, the corrupt casino broker, who is working with D.I. Trevor Fearnley, a CrookedCop. Davey's plan is for Tracey and Sharon to be arrested as thieves whilst he keeps the million to himself. Tracey and Sharon are forced to go on the run, with help from their cousin Dawn, on her wedding day. This culminates in a chase where the sisters and Dorien, who has a (sexual) history of her own with Davey become hostages, but manage to clear their names and put Davey away.
