Poor Padraic. It's no fun being caught between warring parents, even if Mum does pack up a whole Viennetta for your lunch by way of an apology. But, sometimes, a young man needs to escape his parental woes and seek solace in his best friend's wardrobe. Cue a manhunt when Padraic's parents, Pat and Paddy, don't know where he's got to.

As a troubled Pad turns to a life of crime and takes up shoplifting, eagerly abetted by Martin, Crunchie Haystacks drowns his sorrows in booze, forcing his friends to stage an intervention: "Do you think this is what Padraic had in mind when he picked you as his imaginary friend, an old wrestler in a baby grow drinking shoe sick?"

Debra, meanwhile, is inspired by Pat and Paddy's rocky patch and leaves the weightloss industry behind to launch a new career as a marriage counsellor.
