Jody Jackson arrives like a whirlwind — dirty, smelly and taking no attitude from anyone. With the Dumping Ground full, Jody must share with Carmen, threatening Lily’s respite care. Carmen doesn't like this arrangement and when Jody borrows her cardigan when she feels cold, Elektra locks Jody in the toy cupboard to stop the fighting which is happening in the living room where she is watching TV. Seeing as she doesn't fit in, Jody runs away back to her home – only to find her mum and brothers have abandoned the house. Meanwhile, Mike cancels Lily's respite care, since her dad is coping well, but Tracy feels that Lily is upset about this arrangement.
