 The Sutton family comes to Coopers Crossing and Miriam Sutton is just about to have a baby. They are very poor and the whole town wants to help out by giving them old clothes and toys, free meals, a roof over their head and some money. Miriams husband Barry takes any job he can get, but then he suddenly disappears. Apparently this wasn t the first time he had left his wife and kids stranded. Miriam and the kids leave the town in their van but it s broken and has no brakes. DJ tells everyone to keep an eye out for a van driven by a woman, when someone says that he has seen the van but it s driven by a man - Barry. It was all a scam, and when the Suttons are forced back to Coopers Crossing they meet many angry and disappointed people, who still are willing to give them a chance though. Violet also decides that she will come with her granddaughter to England to help out with babysitting, but she s worried about her shop.
