Issur decides to have a large unauthorised party in the borrowed residence. Angry Ginger shows up and starts to kick people out of the house, which has been trashed. Later that night, Ginger finds Jill in bed with Dwyer. She has lost her virginity to Dwyer, who thought nothing was wrong because they always slept with each other’s women. Brother-in-law goes off to Mexico with Jocasta and Jill ends up pregnant by Dwyer.
Gunge returns from hospital to find his pets hungry and possessions damaged. He nonetheless hires Cicely as his housekeeper. Despite all, Ginger decides to marry Jill, and makes a deposit on a rental property, but Jill decides they will live with her mother. Jill has the baby and Ginger says it looks like Dwyer.
