Charlie joins the Rebels gang. Vera and Brian try to get her dad to join the over 60's club. Charlie runs away from home and the Rebels confront Tommy.

Tommy needs money so he sets up a car wash business. When Brian tries to help them put a part back on the car, he gets nicked for stealing parts.

While Vera and Brian are away for a few days, they book Tommy into a home. He overhears them and thinks it is permanent. He goes to his friends to ask if he can stay there, and finds he has just died. Then he learns that the home is temporary.

Tommy goes to the doctor for a physical, when he is told he needs a chest x-ray, his hypochondria kicks in and he decides to quit smoking.

Charlie is invited to try out for the local football club. He has to decline because he doesn't have £20 to buy new boots. Tommy pawns something very dear to him to get the money for him.

A nice picnic in the woods turns into a nightmare when Tommy and Charlie get hopelessly lost. Betty, Vera and Brian are up all night worrying.
