Terry's mate, Fourbellies, is out on a kebab hunt when he spots coach Mercier entering a gay club in Birmingham.

During a celebration dinner in the evening, a booze-fuelled Debbie accuses Mercier of being gay. Meanwhile, an incandescent Janice finds out that Terry has kept a suite reserved for Hinchcliffe, using her money. All hell breaks loose.
