Series 2, Episode 2 - Padaming All Over The Place

Grandma advises Alma to have some fun, so she finds herself a date and bags a job at Leanne's - neither of which go to plan. Maybe Alma's fine as she is.
Further details
Joan is in denial about her situation and choosing to rebel against all advice she's being given - particularly when it's from Alma.
In a bid to get Alma off her case, Grandma suggests she tries to find some fun, as her low self-esteem is affecting her posture. Alma gets a job at Leanne's bar and meets a potential love interest - but in true Alma style, she manages to get herself sacked and dumped in the same day.
Meanwhile, Joan starts to process what's happening to her and gets angry. Alma realises she's angry too and comes up with a fun way for them to express their rage.
