After last episode, the children are in awe of the car, although Bill hasn't improved her opinion of it and wants it gone. At the bank, Bil comes across Dawn, a personal banker with an annoying voice, when an issue occurs with her cheque. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it, but it does allow Bill an opportunity to talk to Angelo.

Meanwhile, Rory is still being a big prick and plans to visit the girls more often. Making matters worse for Bill, she's soon told that David has been caught playing naked cards with Sammy and Judith. She decides to break up the relationship but finds that Sammy is living in poor conditions and has been happier with David, so she leaves it.

Back at the bakery, Rory wants Rona to go out with him and calls her a slag. It is there that Bill snaps, ties him up, and quits. The family are promptly left with less money, and Ben is sad to see the car go as he was hoping to drive it in the Chelsea Cruise, but Bill decides to let him have this victory.

!!Tropes in this episode:
* TheAllegedCar: Bill certainly seems to see Ben's new car as this. It doesn't help that it has a faulty horn and is quite difficult to park.
* AnArmAndALeg: Whilst it had been established last episode that Sammy's grandfather lost one of his limbs, it's established here that he has a tendency to lose their artificial replacements as well.

* HandsomeLech: Rory, who tries to use his charm to get into Rona and Bill's pants.
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Ben believes that he's the only source on women for David, but he's man who believes that women are not of this Earth and that they're part of a plot to make every man a slave to the planet Woo-man. His response to David's disbelief over the matter however suggests that he was just faking this ignorance.
* ImmediateSelfcontradiction: Ben is insistent that he's scared that Bill will sell the new car before he can show it off. Then, a letter goes through the mailbox and he's left collapsing to the ground in fear.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Stripping a man naked and leaving him at a bakery on it's own wouldn't be a good idea, but considering the fact that he was a BadBoss who sexually harassed Rona and Bill, he did deserve it.
