The Fosters

Sonny goes out to get a bottle of mouthwash ahead of his latest big date, Pearl's unhappy about Shirley's involvement with a 21-year-old, and Samuel comes under fire when he changes his mind about an obscene book.

Pearl refuses to think about what life will be like when the nest is empty, Shirley ridicules the idea that a popular girl could be interested in Sonny, and talk of popping the question suggests that things are pretty serious.

Shirley gets a shock when she sees a Black face on the broken television, Samuel recognises the preacher as someone he knew in Guyana, and Pearl's far from pleased when the swindler offers her husband a job.

Shirley ends up with the wrong hours when she gets a job at a chip shop, Benjamin finds that his father's irritability might be due to hypertension, and Pearl knows that being laid off from work will make him even worse.

Sonny decides to enter a new art competition at the West Indian Centre, Pearl's unhappy when her special picture of Jesus changes colour, and an old drunk gets all the credit when the family have a run of good luck.

Benjamin tries to pick a man to write about for an English composition, Shirley insists that women are just as worthy of admiration as men, and Samuel returns home miserable after he chickens out of a job interview.
