The girls' mother pays a visit from Ireland, leaving Shona somewhat stuck in the middle - of multiple scenarios.

Further details

Aine and Shona's mother is over from Ireland to visit Vish's family. Tensions are high, as Aine and her mother haven't spoken in months, while Shona feels stuck in the middle. Over dinner, Shona surprises Vish's family by saying she doesn't want kids. There's only one solution to the tension - an impromptu talent show.
