Further details
With Sharon eating her out of house and home and making a mess as she goes, Tracey suggests she take back her old job at Low Price so she can contribute more to the running of the house.
Missing Darryl, Tracey shows Sharon her disgust that she's happy that Chris is out of her life.
When Dorien comes calling for old clothes to give to charity, Tracey refuses to give away anything that belongs to Darryl. Dorien becomes upset that her latest toy boy Luke has ditched her and confesses to Tracey that she only stays with her husband Marcus so that she never has to be poor again.
Back at Low Price Sharon is not allowed near the tills and is relegated to the cold meats counter and is duly sacked for being rude to her old neighbour Lisa after she eggs her on about her night with Chris in his new car.
Dorien takes Tracey shopping and flirts with the salesman. After Dorien puts Tracey's purchases on her bill, Tracey tries to withdraw money from the cash machine to pay her back, only to find her account has been frozen.
The police raid the house to find evidence on Darryl. Tracey is worried that they will find her diamond ring, which she discovers was stolen is a raid two years earlier.
Luckily Sharon, out on the pull, is wearing the ring....
