When Tracey read the letter her son, Garth, had sent her from boarding school, viewers learned that she had not told him about his father's arrest and subsequent imprisonment.

Answer: A neighbour

As Tracey showed Sharon around her expensive home, the former's next door neighbour, Dorien, interrupted them. Claiming to have a "terrible crisis", Dorien barged past Tracey, entering her home. Humorously enough, Dorien's crisis was revealed to be that the carpet cleaners had come a day early, forcing her out of the house. Following this, Dorien put her foot in it in a way that was to become typical for this particular character, going on to mistake Sharon for a cleaner.

Answer: "You're not just buying a t-shirt, dear. You're getting an exclusive carrier bag too."

After barging into Tracey's home and spoiling her afternoon, Dorien announces that she is collecting money for Greenpeace. As a result, she asks Tracey to donate any of her old, designer clothes, so that they can then be sold in a local charity shop. This prompts Tracy to reveal that not all of her clothes have designer labels, which culminates in the comical exchange detailed in the question. Needless to say, Dorien is baffled by Tracey's ability to buy something that does not have a designer name tag attached to it.

Answer: There is no money in her account.

Despite not really wanting to purchase the two sweaters she eventually ends up buying, Tracey does so in order to impress Dorien. However when the pair then visit a local cash point, Tracey gets a nasty shock when the screen reveals that she has no money at all left in the bank. Upon realising this, she then asks (aloud) how on earth it is possible that she has no money, as her husband is a convicted bank robber. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that these accounts have been frozen, while the police investigate the possibility that Tracey's husband has committed additional crimes, other than those he has been imprisoned for.
