Frank finally succumbs to Monica's advances and they begin an affair. Sheila arranges an anniversary party but soon finds out about Frank's infidelity. She is unable to control her rage and ends up throwing knives that narrowly miss Frank's head.
Meanwhile, Lip and Ian decide to earn cash by selling all the junk they find around the estate which goes well until they find a severed hand in a pile of rubbish.
They discover that the hand belongs to a member of the Maguire family. The Maguires assume that it is Mickey that has been killed and begin to mourn his loss. However, after Mickey arrives home, they realise that it was in fact Fergal who was murdered.
When Frank disappears, Sheila worries that she may have killed him and buried him under the patio alongside her ex-husband. When she finds him alive and well in the pub, she gives him an ultimatum; he must choose between her and Monica.
Frank rushes back to Shelia to declare that she is the woman he wants to be with. Sheila is thrilled but Frank ruins it when he lets on that he never bothered to divorce Monica. Sheila is devastated and leaves him, taking the twins with her.
After being left in the lurch, Frank runs over to Monica to repeat exactly what he said to Sheila. This time all goes smoothly and the Gallagher family is reunited once again.
