Simon's grandmother Narg returns from hospital but, much to the Doonans' shock, gone are her saintly acts - she is now an acidic rollercoaster of a woman who has got herself engaged to Big Barry.

New York City 2008 and Simon and Sacha are putting the finishing touches to a festival-inspired window display. Simon holds his hippy beads, grinning...

The narrative switches from New York 'now' to Reading 'then'. Back in 1997, Debbie announces that she is officially psychic and can hear voices from beyond the grave. Andy is unconvinced but has more pressing matters to deal with - his mother, Narg, is returning from hospital. But, much to the Doonans' shock, the Narg (Gran spelt backwards) that they know and love has changed.

Gone are the saintly acts, Narg is now an acidic rollercoaster of a woman who has got herself engaged to Big Barry. In an unfortunate accident, Narg causes the kitchen to blow up while cooking Big Barry a fry-up, and the Doonans wonder if Debbie's psychic premonitions could possibly be real after all.
