When Sheila asks Lip to water the plants for a neighbor who's away, he finds a haven of tranquility. But when the place is burgled, Lip gets blamed.

Things are not looking good for Frank. The housing office is on to him, his debts are piling up and the bailiffs are still on the doorstep.

Frank and Karen hit the road for their driving lesson, but Karen adds some extracurricular maneuvers to the timetable.

Frank's father arrives at the Gallagher's, much to his displeasure, whilst Veronica feels threatened by Karen's presence when she begins working at the pub.
