Ollie is reeling from Jas's unplanned disclosure that she's been unfaithful to him. Meanwhile, the principal is determined to put DK to good work after his recent antics by sending him to do community service with the elderly.

There, DK forms an unlikely alliance with Doreen and finds that appearances can be deceiving.
