'disreputable family member' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'back to collect heroin after dark' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'heroin' could be 'h' (H is a slang term for heroin) and 'h' is found within the answer.
'dark' could be 'black' (synonyms) and 'black' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'seep' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'goes' is the link.
