Spirited photographer Frankie returns home from America for the funeral of a beloved aunt, but her reappearance throws the lives of her friends and former lovers into disarray.
Emotions run high for Frankie at her beloved aunt Carol's funeral, and things get worse when her uncle Cameron treats her like an outsider. Meanwhile, an encounter with a teenage thief gives Cat a second chance to woo Sam at the police station, and Tess tries to coax Lou out of the closet by inviting her to dinner.
