Tracey has started dating Barry Farmer, much to the jealousy of Sharon. As Tracey notes that Sharon is jealous of her relationship with Barry, Dorien, who has been on a night out, has made an offer to become an online agony aunt with "Get-A-Life Magazine". The trouble is that she has to do it tonight, and she's not sure she's the right person for the job.
Dorien takes the opportunity to practice, but things go wrong immediately when she tries to practice on Travis. Eventually, the night comes and it goes even more wrong when she puts herself forward as a problem to her own chat show, complete with criticism of the sisters, leading to them letting out their anger of her and the webcast receiving loads of calls. The two sisters make up as a result of this, although Tracey admits she's not ready to take it to the next stage with Barry.
Meanwhile, Garth is not coping with his father's death and decides to construct a shrine for him, although he is worried about Tracey's reaction. In the end, his efforts are successful and she thinks it's perfect.
