Mehr Schein als Sein

Hyacinth's father has an accident on his bicycle while chasing the milkwoman.

Hyacinth has asked the new vicar to tea and, in her usual meticulous fashion, she has organized the event down to the last sugar lump. Meanwhile at Daisy’s house, Rose is threatening suicide, brokenhearted over Mr Hepplewhite, who has gone back to his wife.

Hyacinth looks forward to soaking up a little culture at her favorite stately home.

Everyone is in shock when an eccentric woman moves into Daddy's bedroom, claiming to be his fiancée and the sisters' stepmother-to-be, and it's up to Hyacinth to break up the insane engagement and get rid of the woman for good.

Hyacinth’s social standing at a church function is jeopardized when Daisy tries to encourage Onslow to become more ardent.

Hyacinth enjoys a quiet family christening - for a few moments at least until pandemonium breaks loose.
