Sal's husband dies and at the funeral her son James announces he is firing her from the family owned clinic. Sal joins the local Women's Guild to pass her time, as does Kate the bereavement councillor.

When the Women's Guild decide they want a coffee room at the local church, they hold a "bring and buy" sale to pay for the health and safety standards.

While Delilah gets her car stuck, Sal and Tash argue over Tash doing a circus skills cours. They later make up and at the surgery Tip cleverly comes up with a plan to get Sal her old job back.

Rosie, Eileen and Queenie help the Vicar prepare for the harvest festival, but all comes to a stand still when Rosie sees a potato with Jesus' face on it.

Eileen fears the Guild will be closed when she reads aloud a letter indicating an impending visit from Guild Inspector Lady Anne Crump. Meanwhile Rosie embarks on a celebrity diet and the rest of the Guild help Elijah, an old man who recently lost his wife.

It is panto time. The chosen panto this year is Cinderella. Sal's daughter Tash usually plays the lead, but Eileen thinks she is too old. Sal manages to persuade her that if Michael (her husband) had been alive there would have been no question, and Tash gets the role. Finally the performance night arrives, but some cast think the best place to be is the pub, which means a slight alteration in the story! Sal decides it is time to scatter Michael's ashes, and enlists an unlikely helper, with unexpected results.
