Next Episode of The Change is
unknown.
Linda, a 50-year-old working class married mother of two, is having an existential crisis. Who is she? What is she? Is this it? Convinced she's got early onset dementia after forgetting what a shoe is called, Linda's GP informs her it is, in fact, the menopause. Feeling invigorated and empowered by this information, Linda decides to claw back some of the time she's spent doing ‘invisible work' over the years (not all 3.5 million minutes, just 131,500 of them) to do something for herself… for a change.
In the opening episode, Linda faces the town's fury as she admits to lying about her real identity. But being Eel Queen has changed something for Linda; her journey isn't over. Following 'Forest Rules', Linda must face a trial and, until then, is banned from the caravan by the Eel Sisters, Agnes and Carmel. Meanwhile, a third Eel Sister appears. Theresa is sceptical about Linda, who's clearly been causing ripples while Theresa's been incarcerated in the local jail... The town gather for the trial and, during her defence, Linda mentions her ledgers. It's a moment of recognition for the other women. Elsewhere, Tony is struggling with the idea of a woman winning a comedy competition. Surely women aren't as funny as men?!
News of Linda's ledgers is spreading across town, and the seeds of a revolution are being sown. Keen to know more about how to start their own chore ledgers, the town's women have started doorstepping a confused and reluctant Linda. But the domestic revolution is overshadowed by hazy memories from Linda's past, and the sense that she might have more of a connection with the forest than she originally thought. Back home, Linda's husband Steve is trying to find his purpose, and tells the lads that he's planning a trip to Turkey for a makeover. Meanwhile, a put-upon Siobhain faces her own domestic turmoil: is something changing in her? And The Verderer is sure that the growing revolt and dwindling eel numbers are signs that the women of the town are upsetting the natural order of things and must be stopped. At all costs.
The town is brought to a standstill by the women's revolution and Pig Man helps Linda process her increasingly unsettling memories by convincing her to listen to the mushrooms. Steve returns from Turkey with new hair and teeth and the Verderer launches a chauvinistic attack on-air.
Linda embraces her role as leader of the women's strike but her recurring flashbacks prompt a terrifying realisation about her real identity. Agnes and Theresa think Linda's vegan mushroom eels might have solved their crisis.
The Eel Sisters invite Linda to their annual Silent Supper, and The Verderer declares war.
The strike is over and there's a sense of new beginnings for everyone…
