Pop accepts a lucrative offer that he can't refuse, and the Jerebohms - who have become new neighbours of the Larkins - host a hilariously dire dinner party.
It's BBQ weather, and no-one throws a party like the Larkins - everyone is welcome, including the dubious Jerebohms. Truths and tension are served alongside the sausages and burgers, and a trap is set to bring Pop down.
Pop is in denial, and Ma issues him some tough love while playing Cupid between Primrose and Rev Candy. Pop's old friend Fruity Pears arrives to the village with his fairground in tow, but it's not all candyfloss and laughs.
Ma and the children try to convince Pop to take the court case seriously, but he has more fun things on his mind. He is conducting his own defence in court. Meanwhile, Mariette and Charley make a welcome return home.
The Larkins do all they can to get Pop out of prison. To keep Pop's spirits up, Mariette tells him he is going to be grandfather, but swears him to secrecy. Ma is surprised by an about-turn from a conflicted Norma Norman.
When Norma confesses to Ma that Pop was set up by the Jerebohms, Ma gets some help to organise her own sting operation. It's comeuppance time for the Vicar, Alec Norman and the Jerebohms, as revenge is a dish best served cold.
