After Monica's brother Edgar, an ageing rocker, drops down dead at his 60th birthday bash, it is revealed that Monica and Ethel are actually sisters,who have barely spoken to each other in twenty years and, whilst Ethel inevitably demands a conventional funeral, Edgar's last wish is for a hard rock ceremony. Monica holds the ace card by divulging that she and Gilbert were once lovers, and Edgar's wishes are honoured. Ethel acquires some dignity with her acceptance of all this but Layla's 'family' dinner party goes awry when Michael defends Kyle's faddy eating habits. Esther rebuffs Jake's sincere advances before he tells her that he is Layla's brother.
