The roof in the church collapses, destroying Amaar's apartment. Amaar learns that he can never live there again as when Sarah tries to get a building permit to make the necessary repairs, the city informs her that the zoning of the building does not allow any residential use. Stuck for a place to stay at least for that night, Amaar reluctantly takes Thorne up on his offer to stay at his place. As Amaar tries to find a new place to stay, he finds that there seem to be few to no options. Even the few leads he has for either short or long term accommodations seem to fall through at the last minute. Is this bad luck or the work of a lonely Anglican reverend who wants a roommate? Meanwhile, Sarah is doing whatever she can to halt the aging process, or at least to appear young. She is even more determined when she learns that Cassie McTavish, a dear but ultra-competitive friend, is passing through the area. When Sarah sprains her ankle, she refuses to use a cane, thinking it makes her look like an old lady. Sarah and Ann come up with a scheme to allow Sarah to walk without a cane during Cassie's visit.
