Raised by Wolves

Della cancels the Internet to save money, forcing the girls to go to the library where bookish Yoko and Aretha are quite at home. Germaine, on the other hand, is dangerously bored. Luckily, a chance encounter with Lee Rhind allows her to use “the Monroe Technique” and secure a date with him.

With the landlady coming to inspect the house, Della organizes a clean-up and sends the children to spend the day with their unemployed father, Sean. He takes them for a picnic in the country woodlands-property now claimed by a private company-where their exercise in civil disobedience ends in arrest.

Della is shocked when Aretha declares that she wants to go to school. Unfortunately the school is chaotic and badly run and Aretha's rant against it gets her expelled-but Grampy comes to the rescue.

As Aretha enjoys college life with radical Economics lecturer, Della takes Germaine to work with her at Pound Lord to show her life in the real world. Grampy's attempt to organize a fun day for the babies ends in disaster.

To raise money to pay the gas bill, Della drags the family off to a car boot sale. The little ones do well by playing the sympathy card to shoppers, but Yoko and Aretha's environmentally friendly method of parking organization actually causes chaos.

Della and the family head for Wales to stay in a caravan that was owned by one of Grampy's late friends, but with Aretha and Germaine both feeling the pains of unrequited love, and Grampy unable to afford his new 4 x 4, it is far from a happy holiday.
