Two accidental encounters with Brit Art rabble-rouser Stacey Bile drag the Doonan Family into the bizarre world of galleries and installations. Debbie becomes Stacey's muse when they meet in Jo Ho Yo's hairdressing salon and Debbie recognises her as the woman whose reckless driving round the Kate Winslet memorial roundabout led to a broken arm for Andy and scuffed trainers for Simon.

Meanwhile, Debbie's absence means that Simon and Kylie can learn Indian dance moves from Auntie Hayley, whose cooking results in some urgent trips to the hospital with Hayley - who is blind - at the wheel of the Doonan Drainage van. Debbie runs out of patience with Stacey which results in third party, fire, theft and the Turner Prize. Meanwhile, Hayley sets herself up as a telephone astrologer whose services are called upon by passing songstress Dannii Minogue.
