The Bargain is a clapped out second car that Samuel Foster reluctantly buys from a friend of Vilma.
He is pushed into a purchase by the rest of the family. The only problem is that Samuel is yet to pass his driving test in Britain as well as unable to afford a decent car.
While Samuel is at work, Sonny damages it by trying to drive it. He hit reverse gear by mistake.
Now Pearl needs to organise some quick repair work from a garage before Samuel returns home. They also cannot afford the repairs.
This is a strained episode, you just sense this will all end on a disaster but it all so signposted. Even down to the fact that Samuel could not even get the car insured.
