Between modern day sex and bank accounts, Miri is once again baffled by the world today as she navigates both her new job and her budding relationship with Billy.

Further details

After the awkward end to their not-date-date, Miri offers to help Billy sort through Anna's things. Although picking through the personal belongings of your crush's dead wife might seem awful to most, Miri takes it in her stride. Until she makes a very personal discovery...

Things get worse for Miri when Janice tells her that she needs a bank account before she can start working at the supermarket. Miri does have a bank account... that she hasn't used since 2001. Unfortunately, the branded piggy banks she was given all those years ago are no longer relevant and once again Miri must navigate a world she barely recognises.

As she leaves the bank in frustration, Dom tries to give her an apology quiche, and reveals that Caroline has sent him a dick pic of his own dick.

Oscar's having technical difficulties in his social media campaign for "Make Hythe Clean", but he is nevertheless becoming obsessed with his new distraction and Caroline is feeling left out. She has no choice but to return to the Ladies of Hythe, who exiled her after Miri went to prison.
