As Lorcan sulks around the house, Carol tells JJ he needs to talk to him again and clear things up. Lorcan presses Nora to tell him more about JJ, but she warns him to let it go. JJ speaks to Lorcan and admits he has a criminal record for stealing a car as a teenager, but he was scared straight in prison.
JJ assures Lorcan that now he knows the truth, so stop giving Carol a hard time. Lorcan meekly apologises to Carol for not believing her when she told him that JJ isn’t a criminal.
Ray and Nora agree they should ask Leo to tell Dean to pull his weight while he’s staying in their house.

Nora and Ray are disappointed when Dean turns up with some leftovers for dinner from Hot Pots to repay them.
