* Date First Aired: 30/06/1997
Tracey has given up on Darryl after [[Recap/BirdsOfAFeatherS7E5Porridge his second imprisonment]] and now wants to make up for lost time, so she goes out on the pull, much to Sharon's disgust. Sharon gets on the TV to try and appeal for Chris' release, but gets into a fight with the channel's mascot - Headline Hound. Meanwhile, Dorien finally wins her house back from Marcus' clutches.
