Having not seen his family for years, Fatdraic arrives at Nana V's yard with a present in tow for Eron - a tiny pony, failing to realise he's now far too grown-up for such a gift. With husband Ravi away, and their marriage under strain, Naomi finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Fatdraic with embarrassing consequences.

Meanwhile, Eron and Jasmine are due to visit his mum, Nana V's daughter, in prison, with Jasmine keen to impress her prospective new mother-in-law. But when they try to smuggle in some home-made cakes, Fatdraic reveals that he has laced them with drugs, and both Naomi and Nana V are forced to make a quick decision to get them all out of trouble.
