Father Peter Clifford returns from his ecumenical retreat but finds things just a bit changed in Ballykissangel. A now bankrupt Brian Quigley has rented Peter's house to someone else telling him he can't afford to have it sitting there idle. Father McAnally tells him to find another place to live but the village doesn't have many choices to begin with. He also finds that Padraig and Brendan aren't speaking to one another after the latter criticized the former's singing. Assumpta returns to BallyK with her husband Leo McGarvey and its obvious neither she nor Peter have resolved their own situation. To try and heal all of the bad feeling in the community, Peter accepts a challenge from a pub in Cilldargin and manages to convince most of the regulars to join Fitzgerald's pub team.
