The girls try to go to the psychic, but Sharon gets them kicked out before Dorien can learn more about herself. Thankfully, Tracey suggests that she take a personal session with the psychic. Meanwhile, at the prison, Darryl tells Tracey that maybe competition can be bad at times and encourages Tracey to return Nicky to the team. During the match, Dorien reveals that she's been to see Madame Yenta, and she's told Dorien that she's going to see someone new, swept off her feet by a stranger in black. This stranger in black turns out to be the linesman, who she collides with in an attempt to stop a pitch invasion from Sharon. Thus, Tracey is fired and she returns to normal.

The girls are playing monopoly. It's not long before it goes pear-shaped and Sharon quits the game. At the prison, Chris has received a letter from his cousin, Helena. Her son Nicky has started playing football, and Chris suggests that she go see him play. In fact, this could have a financial advantage - Helena's father has just retired, and he might give Sharon some money if she's friendly with Nicky, something which Sharon agrees to.
