Mel and Howard move on the same day as her granny's funeral, and Howard finds ways to desecrate granny, insult the mourners and possibly lose his job. Elsewhere, their cottage renovations have hit a snag.
Errands take up the morning of Howard's sexual harassment hearing as he and Mel try to get the CBE restored and the hobby horse repaired, but it turns out the hearing is the least of his worries as two very unexpected incidents wreak even more havoc with his life.
As the day of Dick's CBE party dawns, Howard is nursing his injuries and his hurt feelings, but his efforts to ingratiate himself fall afoul of the lawnmower, a bris, and the beastly Aunt Yvonne.
