Gail finds the baby hard work, she had no idea it would be so difficult. Det Sgt Cross of the CID calls on Fred and questions him about Gee Wizz Video Enterprises as he's got financial interest in the blue movies they produce. Fred tells him all about Frankie. Mike refuses to honour Frankie's cheque for Fred. Tracy's present from Ray is a doll's house. Dirk Van Der Sterk turns up again and asks Deirdre out.
