Ian receives a letter informing him that he no longer has a job at the Kash and Carry due to financial pressures.
Ian then knocks over a woman on a motorbike who happens to be in possession of scratch cards stolen from the Maguires. She begs Ian to let her stay at his house. Ian begins an unlikely affair with the runaway girl who he hides in the attic.
Yvonne finds out that Kash is in serious debt and that he wants to take a loan out on her shop. She refuses to allow it and forces him to forge a suicide note and fake his death.
Meanwhile, Mimi stops speaking when she finds out her brother has died and that the severed hand is Fergal's. Paddy tries to force Liam to propose to Mandy to replace Mimi's loss with a new 'son' but finds out Ian is involved with the stolen scratch cards.
They want Lip to hand over the girl but Ian helps her escape and the feud between the Gallaghers and Maguires seems to be at its worst until suddenly Mimi speaks again, and all is forgotten.
