Brief Encounters - Season 1 Episode 2

Terry is working away after Steph discovered his infidelity and, strapped for cash, she uses some of her sales money to pay the rent. Pauline over-rules Brian by allowing Dawn, who is exhausted by skivvying for her lazy father and older brothers, to be their lodger but Dawn's spiteful father Len counters by banning her from seeing little brother Stanley. Needing the money Steph agrees to host a party for Lisa, the woman she caught with Terry, organized by Lisa's innocent boyfriend Barry, who takes Steph's 5 year old son Dean out – and loses him, though sympathetic policeman Danny helps Steph find him. Nita's husband Kieren meanwhile reluctantly agrees to be getaway driver in a robbery, which spells disaster for Brian.
