At Dorien's house, Tracey checks up the insurance. Apparently, the policy only covers up to 75 percent of the claim, making her stressed. It's also not too long before the sisters outstay their welcome. Eventually, the gas is restored and the girls can go back home. However, as they point out, they actually can't for another night, because Nobby (who's arranging for the kitchen) needs to have it set up first. Dorien is forced to admit her annoyance at the other two's presence. However, they do plan to take her on a shopping trip out of gratitude. However, at the shopping centre, Tracey goes into shock, and Dorien gets arrested for accidentally stealing women's lingerie.

We begin the episode with Tracey and Dorien playing Monopoly. This occurs as Sharon is in a bad mood. Meanwhile, Dorien has to go to her mother-in-law, which she is not looking forward to.

Eventually, the kitchen is finally sorted. However, one of the agreements with Nobbie was that Sharon showed a few of his customers the kitchen, much to Tracey's anger.
