Ron's marriage to Stella is over, and he isn't having any luck with the opposite sex. Meanwhile, he refuses to print any more white fivers for Gary to use in 1942, unless Gary sets him up with Yvonne's attractive friend Kate, who really isn't interested.

Against Gary's advice, Yvonne invests all of their money in her new health food venture with a suspicious new partner. Meanwhile, in 1942, Phoebe goes into labour with Gary's baby and things don't go quite the way they'd planned.

When Phoebe asks Gary to take Michael out for a nighttime stroll so she can get some rest, father and son are nearly killed by a bomb on Whitechapel Road. Thrown through the time portal by the blast, Gary is shocked to discover Michael has also arrived in 1998. Back in 1944, Phoebe is frantic with worry and resolves to move their family to a safer neighbourhood in the West End.
