Further details
Determined to get Sara fully prepped for her parents' visit, Toria takes her, Justine and Jamie to her own parents' stately home in the country to give Sara a trial run at coming out.
Welcomed with open arms by Toria's eccentric family - her mother (Frances), father (Humphrey) and elderly grandmother (Sozzie) - Sara and her friends learn that the spooky, historical house is the family business, which Toria is set to inherit. With the company quizzing her on her love life though, it isn't long before Sara cracks and successfully admits to everyone that she's gay.
Thankfully, Toria's family are thrilled by her proclamation, but wrongly assume that she and Toria are an item, which to Sara's surprise, Toria happily goes along with.
Meanwhile, Jamie and Justine share an uncharacteristically intimate moment after a few too many glasses of wine. Will their indiscretions have ramifications down the line?
