The family (and Dorien) are having a normal day (albeit with some complaining from Dorien about a lack of sex life) when the police come with some shocking news.
Darryl, ex-husband of Tracey, is dead, having fallen to his death whilst trying to break into a warehouse in Wrexham.
Tracey doesn't want to give him a funeral, but she's convinced to change her mind after Lenny comes back and reveals that Darryl's funeral will be paid for by his fellow gangsters. However, the funeral doesn't go too well - the majority of people there are gangsters and Dorien ends up having sex in the back of a hearse with a gun-loaded gangster named Vince, who ends up spooking the horses away when the gun goes off. Tracey does manage to give Darryl a good send-off though. However, it all goes to hell again when the men manage to drop the coffin revealing some manipulation of the corpse. And that's before everyone comes back to find that they've been burgled...
