Plot
Tyrone is despondent as he wants to buy a car but he only has £120. Curly doesn't get the job in Scotland, Nita does. This pleases Curly, Nita and Emma. Sarah finally admits to Gail that her main concern is having to leave school and her mates behind. Gail says she will give up work and look after the baby so that Sarah can stay at school. Mrs Gardner, a debt collector, shows up at the factory looking for Gwen. Janice covers for Gwen telling the debt collector that she left ages ago. Gwen later admits to Janice the scale of her debts. Geena and Bobbi agree to look for a flat together. Norris tells them about the flat over the salon. Jack suggests to Tyrone that to raise some funds for a car he could let Monica have pups.
