Connie and Herb offer Doug a way out!

Doug and Ste are in financial trouble, however when Connie and Herb return and offer them money on the condition they move to America, they're torn. Doug's first instinct is to throw his parents out, which pleases Ste, but it's clear Doug's not totally dismissed the idea. Meanwhile, Ste is shocked when Herb blackmails him, which Doug overhears, forcing Connie to reveal that Herb has Parkinson's disease. Sienna turns up at the boat to see Dodger and encourages him and Texas to go to a wine tasting event at The Dog. She teases Jack over his lack of wine knowledge, while Texas feels like a third-wheel. After too much wine, Dodger throws up in the pub and the girls bond while looking after him.
