The years are flying past for Tommy.  We pick up with him in 1990 as the family prepares for Saphina's First Holy Communion.  Having long since succumbed to his new reality, Tommy is enjoying the butchering life and looking forward to a family holiday on the Algarve.  Italia '90, however, beckons and Tommy cannot resist the urge to be in the thick of it at Ireland's first World Cup Finals.  Having splurged the family's holiday money on a trip to Palermo, Tommy breaks the news to Dymphna on Saphina's Communion day and discovers the true cost of his Italian dream.
