Holly sells her body for drugs
Farmer John and Moira have been struggling to cope with their junkie daughter, Holly. Her lying and thieving has driven them to despair - but that's nothing compared to what she does next. Desperate for a fix, Holly sneaks away from the farm and takes off into town where she prostitutes herself to get the money she needs for the drugs she desires. High as a kite and helpless as a baby, Hazel and Bob find her on the street as they return from visiting Jackson. They take her home, where her parents want to know where she got the money for drugs. And when she tells them they wish they had never asked... Marlon asks Paddy to help him win back Rhona and Paddy has to gently explain that Rhona's a prize Marlon can never have. What Marlon doesn't know - and what Paddy doesn't tell him - is that Rhona doesn't want him because she wants Paddy. Funny, isn't it... Marlon's the chef but it's Paddy who's in a pickle. Meanwhile, Chas adds another ingredient to her recipe for revenge on Carl, the man she loved but now loathes, by sneaking into his office and deleting his computer files. Hee-hee... Nice one.
