History Recap / BirdsOfAFeatherS2E2SweetSmellOfSuccess

Things are not going great for Tracey. Not only is the electric bill up soon, but so is the car insurance. Discussing this with Dorien, she suggests selling Darryl's old Jaguar. Money is tough in Dorien's household you see, and they're thinking of getting a cheaper car. However, Tracey is having none of it, as Darryl wanted his stuff intact for when he got out. Just then, Sharon comes to inform them that Lisa Slag, one of Chris' affairs, has gotten herself rich by flogging a cheap perfume called ''Aromatique''. After listening to her, they decide to give it a shot.

Sharon's former neighbour, Lisa, has made a fortune selling a cheap perfume called ''Aromantique'', around town. Sharon and Tracey jump on the bandwagon, as they are in desperate need of money. However, when this proves unsuccessful, Tracey decides to sell Darryl’s Jaguar for money. When a prospective buyer comes to view it, he drives it away. Tracey is later told it has been repossessed as Darryl never kept up the payments. At the next prison visit, Darryl tells her he hid £25,000 in the car’s spare wheel. When Tracey tries to buy the car back, Dorien buys it first to save Tracey’s embarrassment at having the car repossessed.
