She drops to her knees and crawls away in embarrassment.

Janice and Ray are sitting on the sofa, discussing their visit to a 'gastropub'. Ray liked the sound of the mushroom soup until he read what sort of mushrooms the soup was made of - dried shit ache mushrooms. He refused to eat it because he won't eat anything with 'dried shit' in the title.

Paul and Sam are in the bedroom, talking about Sam's lunchtime. Her and her colleagues went to a newsagent to buy some mints and a newspeper, but Sam decided to buy a scratch card. She was amazed to discover that she had three pound symbols on her scratch card, which means that she won her money back, but it turns out that the symbols weren't in a straight line. She says that it was 'absolute bedlam'.

Sandra, hidden under a blanket, is hurried into the ginger refuge with the help of police officers. Everybody welcomes her and Sandra joins a woman with her child. She asks if her mum lives in the refuge as well and the dark-haired woman says that she is her mother. Sandra is confused. Helen appears to be a carrier as the ginger gene can skip a generation. She might not have ginger hair, but she is ginger in her heart.

Jamie called Danny Shaw to fix the television, but Nan doesn't know who he is. He explains to her that his mother is Lou Shaw, known to Nan as Loupy Lou. As he repairs the television, Nan gives him £50 for his trouble. But when he leaves, she starts complaining about how much she had to pay and he wasn't even there 5 minutes. She claims to have been mugged in her own front room.

Sandra is relaxing in the refuge when a fight breaks about between two women. One of them says that the other one is not even ginger - she's strawberry blonde. Rita calms them down and they hug.
