Storyline

The Gallaghers find it funny when Debbie reveals she's committed theft, but the laughing is abruptly ended when they discover its a child shes stolen. While the Gallaghers, Kev & Veronica hatch a plan to return kidnapped Jody to his parents, Frank turns the worried locals into a lynch mob who roam the estate looking for possible suspects, singling out anyone who looks remotely different and lashing out at them. While ice-cream man Alec and hippy Pete feel the wrath of the enraged mob the plan involving super hero costumers, vandalism of nearby phone boxes and lots of lying is comes off and the day is saved with Debbie taking the plaudits from the police and locals.
