Second Thoughts

Joe starts his first day at college and is appalled that Faith has prepared a packed lunch for him rather than let him eat at the canteen. Bill meanwhile reluctantly takes up golf as he has been persuaded by the editorial board that it will introduce him to influential people - though it does not. Richard organizes a week of charity events at the wine bar and a television crew comes in to aid its publicity. Needless to say Liza is there aiming to be the centre of attention.

Faith's god-daughter is getting married and the Grayshotts and Bill are invited to the wedding. So is Faith's ex-husband John, who is coming from America for the celebrations. The kids think it only natural that he should stay in his old home with them. Faith is less certain as to how John and Bill will get on with each other.

On Friday the thirteenth superstitious Faith is convinced that something will go wrong, either for Bill, who is waiting on the board's decision to make him a permanent editor of 'Vista' or for Joe, who is taking his driving test though in the events things go swimmingly for them both. The real horror is reserved for Faith herself when she encounters Liza, who has gone into labour and needs help in delivering the baby.
