When family man Colin suddenly dies, his wife, Tess, and daughter, Cathy, get an even greater shock: Colin had been hiding a mistress, Marilyn, and another daughter, Cat, across town. Two weeks after the funeral, Cathy attempts to retrieve Colin's ashes from his other family, while Tess decides it's time to get back into the dating game.

As Valentine's Day approaches, Cathy accompanies Cat to her evening math class and is delighted to see the teacher, Eamon Hammond, is a hotty. But as she lets her heart rule her head, there's growing tension between the sisters. Angela resorts to kidnapping her own dog in an effort to win back her husband, Peter, and Tess starts a new job in the worst place possible.

Marilyn and Cat attend Cathy's bachelorette party along with Cathy's posh school friend and energetic aunt. Despite Cathy's meticulously organized itinerary for the camping trip, things don't go to plan.

Cathy boxes up her father's things in preparation for selling the house, and Cat and Marilyn go overboard taking mementos. Later, Cathy teaches Cat how to ride a bike, while Marcus visits the dump.

Cat and Cathy and their moms try to get Callum to heal his rift with Angela. They lure Callum to the Northern Soul Revival, where Cathy and Marcus's relationship is tested again, and Tess comes to the rescue in a life-or-death situation. The next day, the siblings' DNA results bring more surprises, but none so big as what Colin has in store for them on the first anniversary of his sudden death.

Cat reignites a feud with a rival delivery driver, and Cathy-unfairly passed over for a promotion-loses a fight with a washbasin at work. With no sign of Colin's elusive pension money, Tess is having very little fun on her singles holiday in Morocco, while Angela is fast turning into the houseguest from hell for Marilyn.
