Following the events of the previous episode, Sharon is annoyed at having to be at Dorien's beck and call. Meanwhile, Dorien is attempting to buy a handbag, only to face an item worth £1500, which she can no longer afford. Leaving, she is confronted by Sharon, who decides to show her the ropes of poor-person living.
At the Chigwell house, Dorien complains to Tracey, butting heads with Sharon along the way. However, Tracey tells her to shut up, since she's contributing to the rent. We also find out that Garth and Marcie are broke, so Marcie plans to work on her massage business, whilst Garth has registered with a catering agency.
Tracey wants her rent money now but Dorien has no money, her solicitor keeping the money as a container. Of course, it didn't help that Dorien has been spending what she had on designer clothes. She is promptly taken to a car boot sale to sell off the clothes.
At the car boot sale, Dorien's clothes are bought by Amy Childs (of The Only Way Is Essex fame). She is distraught at what happened, and it doesn't help when Tracey decides that everyone needs to get a job. Garth gets a job as a sandwich artist at "Seedy McCrusty's", Sharon goes back to her old job at "World of Quid", and Dorien is forced to get a job there as well. She ends up becoming the store manager.
