Further details
It's Valentine's turn to have Mama stay and, true to form, he shows her a good time. However she's concerned about his lifestyle and takes it upon herself to help him find that special someone to settle down with.
Agnes and Kirsty bump into some suits walking around the Estate. Agnes is immediately suspicious but Kirsty seizes the moment when one of them - Charles Lander - triggers a spontaneous catering opportunity for her catering business at the Milton Arms. Very quickly the Eastbridge community get roped into creating a good impression, although everything doesn't quite go as planned.
