Big Bob's parenting skills are put to the test when he has to placate an irate Christina who's reeling from an argument with Molly. Gabriel has fallen behind on his rent, and is shocked when the estate agent arrives to change the locks on his shop, ABC. He manages to wangle a short stay of execution if he can raise a month's rent by 5pm. Shocked and irritable Liz chooses the wrong day to complain about a purchase and Gabriel sends her packing. Over at Malcolm and Liz's, Gabriel's friend Simon is fitting a burglar alarm, but when he overhears a gossipy Liz tell Malcolm about ABC's demise he visits Gabriel and proposes a solution. He'll pay the rent arrears and he and Gabriel can go into business together like they have been planning for years. They can use ABC as the premises for Simon's security business. Gabriel is thrilled at the reprieve and they toast their partnership in the pub. However when Liz arrives the war of words continues and Gabriel oversteps the mark. Realising that Gabriel has upset Liz, Jo demands he apologise to her. Gabriel visits Malcolm and Liz's to apologise but Liz refuses to say sorry back. On his way out Gabriel notices that their new alarm is a fake. Later Gabriel confronts Simon who seems to have an answer and justification for everything. Gabriel is sorely tempted to go along with the plot, until Simon mentions his plans to continue fleecing Malcolm and Liz and other local OAPs. Gabriel makes his decision- he gives up ABC and instead decides to give the money back to Malcolm and Liz. When Simon protests Gabriel punches him in front of an astonished Jo. Upon realising what Gabriel has done for them, Liz softens her stance towards Gabriel, and with him having lost the shop, she offers him a bed at her house for the foreseeable future.
