Further details

Janet has been offered a job on a cruise liner as a singer. It's her dream job but it means leaving Jonny and the baby behind. That is until Jonny decides to come too, and become a pirate - his dream job.

But it turns out the job was to be a stripper and Janet and Jonny stay at home. Gaz finds out his dad is selling the garage and he'll be out of a job. But luckily Donna gets all the money from the sale of her mum's house and buys the garage for him.
