The Millers can't afford baby food or pet food. Rosie scolds Keith for helping himself to too much cereal. Oblivious to their problems, Darren pleads for some new trainers. Jim's being shifty and Dot catches him whispering with Martin. She forces them to come clean. Martin reveals that Sonia's obsessed Chloe. Dot agrees to have a word. Juley's gone missing and Gus is sure that he's hanging out with dodgy Daryl. He's sick of Juley choosing his mates over his true friends and family. Alfie mentions that he's having lunch with Little Mo. Jake and Danny tease him but Alfie insists that they're just good friends. He pays Mickey to look after his stall. Mickey's relieved that he can afford to buy the family shopping. Alfie and Little Mo enjoy each other's company so much that they spend all day at the restaurant. They plan to meet up when she gets back from visiting Lynne. They're excited about the future. Juley has lost his keys and demands that Gus hand over his set. Gus refuses. He claims that Daryl's the guy who mugged Mickey. He's sick of Juley's criminal pals and wants him out of the flat. Ruby asks Stacey if she'd like to go to the cinema. Stacey sneers at her and accuses Ruby of trying to buy her friendship. Ruby's hurt by her cruel response. Darren wonders why his dad's never had a job. Keith claims that he's overqualified. Darren's suspicious when Keith pretends to read the job ads in the paper. He confides in Demi that their dad can't read. Dot invites Sonia round for a cuppa. Sonia hits the roof when she realises that it's a ploy to discuss Chloe. Dot urges her to consider what's best for the little girl in the long run. Sonia's convinced that Chloe needs her. Daryl entertains Stacey by plying her with booze. Sam accuses him of bringing in his own alcohol. Daryl encourages Stacey to come with him to the cab office for some privacy. Ruby's shocked to see her mugger. Dot outlines the heartache Sonia could bring on herself and Chloe. Martin accuses Sonia of being selfish and dishonest. She's kept her true identity from Chloe's gran. Sonia feels that they're all ganging up on her. Daryl makes a move on Stacey, but she's out of her depth and pulls away from him. Johnny arrives at the cab office and grabs the man who attacked his daughter. While he calls the police, Stacey flees in tears. Juley freshens up at Patrick's and expresses his sorrow at what happened to Paul. Patrick urges him not to make the same mistakes as his son. Juley sees Daryl being carted off by the police. He apologises to Gus. Rosie steals some baby food. Mo spots her and confronts her about it. Rosie's humiliated and begs Mo not to say anything. At home, Rosie sobs in Keith's arms. She demands that he starts earning some money. Martin reckons that Sonia's meddling will hurt everybody. Sonia retorts that she's already been hurt.
