Chantelle agrees to let Liam live in her house if he's good to Chantelle's little son, Calum. Liam then moves to his sister Chantelle's nearby home in Port Glasgow. Liam arrives back to find that he has been expelled from his grandfather's flat, and his belongings thrown down into the front garden (including his telescope, which has been broken). When driving home his companions beat him up he fights back and gets away. In the event, Liam refuses to cooperate by passing the drugs over. Stan and Rab take Liam in Rab's car on a visit to his mother in Cornton Vale Prison, and try to force him to smuggle drugs to his mother while they create a distraction.
