Michelle has gone away to holiday camp, and Passmore (looking preppie and acting friendly) winds up Tommy about it (and Tommy's new blow-dried coif) at a party before tossing a can of export lager to Tucker. Passmore's father is out of work, and he says his parents have given up on him but want better for Michelle. Mr. Humphries, Alan's father, has died, and Uncle Vic has moved into the house that now legally belongs to Alan, insisting he's there to help. Alan learns that his father's business has more debts than assets. Tucker and Alan see Creamy dossing in a car, and later in a Laundromat, which bothers Alan. Tommy runs bets for a gangster named Tony Bamford, and when Tony offers him money, Tommy cheekily turns it down, asking for a job instead. After a few tense moments, Tony relents, saying "maybe I can use you." When kids set a fire near the car hulk in which Creamy has been sleeping, Tucker lets Creamy stay on the floor in his room "for a few nights."
