It's the day of the naming ceremony for Alan and Joyce's granddaughter and each Boomer has a plan. Joyce is determined to spend time with the baby despite protective daughter-in-law Suze, while Alan is preoccupied with keeping his wallet shut. Carol wants a publisher for her erotic novel, although Trevor frets about the revelations within. John and Maureen, meanwhile, are aiming to wangle a boat club membership, despite possessing as little nautical knowledge as your average Boaty McBoatface voter.
