Fill glowers out of his window whilst sundry blokes stand around in the Square like a greek chorus and discuss the epoch-defining bitch-slapping of Fill. Peggy (gah! she is wearing a "kinder, gentler" looking wig, possibly stolen from Lulu) asks what is wrong but he tells her to get lost and manfully scrunches up the can of fizzy pop he is holding. Grrr!

Den Jr (Tim Den-man?) wanders round in his underpants for a bit and flexes his muscles. He argues with Shazza about hitting Fill and then runs off in a strop. Shazza is wearing a jacket with really huge shoulder pads, like something Sam Fox would have worn at the height of her pop career. Vickney and shazza go through his bag and find the address for a gymn in Tottenham.

Fill searches for Den Jr. It is Billy and charlie's birthday. Billy is sad becasue Fill doesn't love him or something. They have a disgusting cockernee pie/mash/liquor party. That bloke from the CD stall buys all of Backstreet's 50s cd's. Backstreet is happy.

Ian is all happy because someone has smacked Fill. He goes to gloat at Simpleton about the Contentious Catering Contract but she tells him that she grassed him up to Fill about how he spied on Pat. Ian looks like he has just messed himself and runs away.

Shazza tracks Den Jr to the gymn where he is boxing and flexing his muscles some more. They argue a bit but then Shazza says that she does want to get no him and offers a clean slate, fresh start type thing. she leaves him a set of flat keys and leaves him to make up his mind. Then she goes to Fill and begs him to let Den Jr off if apologises. She guilt trips him about all the times she has helped him do dodgy things etc.

Den Jr comes back to the flat, is nice to Shazza and vickney and agrees to go and meet Fill. There is a stupid High Noon bit with a plastic bag blowing through a deserted square, bells chiming and people watching a western on telly. At the pub, Fill offers to shake hands with den Jr and Den apologises for "disrespecting" Fill, like Fill is Don Corleone or something. Retch. Then Fill grabs Den's arm and whispers something menacing. Minty looks jealous. Den Jr "whatever". Ian is annoying. Later on, Minty is seen lurking evilly outside the Fish'n'chip shop.

Ethel 2.0 spends the whole episode popping up out of nowhere and telling Fool that he loves Slutty. Fool "she's just a mate". Later on, Slutty strains her ankle and Fool carries her upstairs while Slutty cackles like Carry-on era Babs Windsor on crack. They sit on the sofa together and later Fool runs out, looks like he is going to cry and says to Ethel 2.0 "Yes! I do love her! and it hurts so much!" why is he being such a drama queen? Has he taken a vow of chastity? Is he betrothed to another? Just tell her!
