Series 1, Episode 3 - Spring Awakening

A business-boosting Polish evening in the cafe ends with heart trauma and kleptomaniac Lizzie in charge.

Further details

It's Spring and everything is blossoming.. apart from sisters Trisha and Clare's new business, unfortunately.

'Cafe Culture' is way too quiet for comfort and it's time to be financially inventive. Temperamental opera-loving Polish chef Krzysztof suggests that they hold an Eastern European music evening and its full steam ahead... apart from the fact that he, mysteriously, keeps nipping off...

Trisha also loves to nip off out, but not mysteriously... she's just healthily jogging round the Meadows. However, one morning, she bumps into a friendly American making far too many offers for her liking and she finds it hard to be friendly back.

Fretting that Clare has plans to bail out and sell the cafe to the highest bidder, Trisha is all set for a barney with her. Indeed, sensible big sister Clare is harbouring a few secrets on several fronts whilst Lizzie continues to battle with her shoplifting habit, but comes up trumps, however, when she's unexpectedly left holding the fort on the big night.

There are identity issues and heart traumas of the major variety all round but can an unexpected, yet welcome, proposal save the day...
