The series opens with a classic horror resurrection - out of the ashes of the Local Shop, two clawlike hands emerge, one of them clutching a snow-scene souvenir. It's Tubbs and Edward, who have somehow survived the conflagration. But with their home gone, there's nothing for them in Royston Vasey and they set off for London, guided by a very odd map. In HM Clitclink prison, Pauline is top dog, renting out dildos in return for pens. Granted an early release, she is staying with Mickey, while spying on him for her archenemy, Ross. Then, at a gender-bender party thrown by Barbara (the transvestite cab driver, now heavily pregnant with monster David's baby), Pauline and Mickey discover true love. Meanwhile, dying pensioner Peter insists that his next of kin rehearse his funeral in excruciating detail, and the mysterious Dr. Carlton holds a private party for some of his sickest patients. Pauline visits Ross at home to tell him that their deal is off. Of course, she will have to go back to prison, but she will not betray her love - in fact, she has sex with Ross to try to stop him investigating Mickey. Ross gives her the file, and then picks up the phone. He is going to tell Mickey what they have just done - unless Pauline can get there first. As she flies through the streets, a red plastic bag blinds her and a van is speeds her way.
