In the upstairs bathroom, Patsy helps Eddy break in her new isolation tank while Saffy, in the kitchen below, works on a presentation about DNA with several classmates, preparing for her school's Open Day. When Patsy and Eddy come downstairs, they hang around talking loudly for so long that Saffy asks her mother why she isn't at work. Eddy explains that her dimwitted secretary, Bubble, has emerged from an occupational hypnotism program mysteriously transformed into a demon of efficiency who works with such dedication that there's nothing to do at the office anymore. When Eddy eventually does go to work, she's proved correct: Bubble strides purposefully about wearing a power suit while Eddy is reduced to paging through a magazine as if she's "at the bloody hairdresser's, for God's sake!" At home, feeling rejected and useless, Eddy takes a sudden interest in Saffy's DNA presentation and begs to be invited to the Open Day; Saffy, however, refuses point-blank. Eddy throws a tantrum, but it has no effect; she then threatens to adopt a Romanian baby. When Saffy calls her bluff, saying "Go on then!", Eddy phones Bubble and instructs her to send over a selection of Romanian babies so she can pick one out. She then leaves the room and frantically tries to cancel the deal, but it's already too late. Later, Saffy relents and tells Eddy she can come to the Open Day after all. The next day, during the presentation, a woman interrupts and asks for a Mrs. Edina Monsoon. Eddy walks out and returns holding a baby; then more and more babies are brought in until their wails drown everything out. Saffy screams furiously "That's it! Get out!" making the babies cry louder than ever. Eddy then wakes up in a panic, still in her iso tank, and realises it's all been a dream.

Patsy's indecent outings with an MP land her on the front page of every tabloid in the country, but if that weren't enough, her age is listed as "47". This prompts her to do some damage control, and leads to an interview with a Hello! magazine reporter who doesn't even know who Patsy is. Patsy prepares for the interview by improvising a facelift with surgical tape, then discovers the photographer won't be along for some days. Meanwhile, Eddie has a pain in her big toe, and after calling her doctor in Switzerland, she decides to go to the hospital for surgery. Patsy tags alone, planning to get a chemical peel and some eyelid rejuvenation before the Hello! photographer arrives. At the hospital, Edina and Patsy make life hell for the nurses and staff. While anesthetised, Edina dreams that she's on her deathbed and is receiving farewell visits from idealised versions of her family and friends: her daughter, now played by Helena Bonham-Carter, has followed in her bacchanal footsteps; her ex-husband Justin – who is now Richard E. Grant – still adores her and only told everyone he was gay because he could never love another woman; her mother is Germaine Greer; and Patsy (Mandy Rice-Davies) tells her how much she envies her good good bone structure. Suzi Quatro provides musical accompaniment to this scenario. In an adjoining operating room, Patsy dreams of looking young...young...young for her Hello! spread. It's all for naught, though; Edina wakes to find that her toe pains were caused by a stray acupuncture needle which worked its way from her cranium to her toe, and Patsy's skin is burned off her face. is the 27th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Edina's father has died. Gran is taking it in stride, Saffron is beside herself in grief, but Edina could not be bothered. Eventually, the reality of the situation hits her: it dawns on her that some day she, Edina, is going to die. The next day, she buys a whole lot of worthless, but very expensive artwork to "bequeath to the nation". Marshall drops by with his new girlfriend, a self-help therapist who is only too keen on discussing death... until she finds out that the body is to be brought to Edina's living room for the wake; she then begins gibbering "Body! Are they crazy? It's gonna smell; it's gonna smell so bad!" Later, while Eddie is showing Patsy her new artwork, they happen to notice an occupied coffin in the midst of it all, and gaze speculatively at it, wondering "Is it art?" Saffron, completely exasperated by her mother's selfish attitude, bans Edina from the funeral, leaving her and Patsy to get hammered and sad. Edina suddenly decides she wants to go to the cemetery, and she takes Patsy along. At the burial service, Edina stumbles drunkenly into her father's grave and Patsy falls into another open grave close by. No-one offers to help, and as the episode ends we see Eddie trying to climb out, then slipping helplessly back into the grave. is the 34th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Edina is in a hurry to get the house ready for the minimalist tastes of her visiting friend Bettina and husband Max. As a result, Saffron temporarily takes up residence close to school and Patsy is pretty much ignored. When Bettina and Max arrive, however, they are no longer minimalist trendsetters but extremely harried parents of a newborn boy. Edina tries to be patient with them, but they cause so much havoc in the house that she leaves for a breather. At Joe's Cafe, they shamelessly try to one-up each other: Patsy hijacks a lunch with Zandra Rhodes and Britt Eklund, claiming that they all knew each other in their heyday, and Edina forces her client Lulu to have lunch with her or else she'll kill her and possibly herself. Both lunches bomb miserably. Back home, Saffron returns to find Edina plotting to get rid of Bettina and Max. As Saffron and Gran comfort Bettina later, Edina and Max have a quick fling - which can be heard via the baby transmitter in the kitchen! Bettina and Max leave, and it turns out that that was the intended result of Edina's fling. She and Patsy make up after the fact. is the 55th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Patsy "inhales" the kitchen (i.e. she caused a fire in the kitchen with a lit cigarette while nodding off). The following day, Edina considers a new look for the kitchen as well as her bedroom - she is sick of the low-level Japanese furnishings. The center of life in the Monsoon house soon shifts to the living room, where Saffron is planning on having a friend over for a study session on the beginning of life, though it is later clear that she has more erotic plans afoot. Edina and Patsy, who are supposed to go out later, want to hang around for the meeting, but everything changes when Gran accidentally locks all three inside the room. As they are sequestered inside, they exchange stories about their own births: Saffron was either born on a carpet of roses (per Edina's story) or left to die on a highway (per Patsy's version), Edina's birth was sterilized to a fault, and an eventually unwanted Patsy entered the world via her mother's bohemian hang-out in Paris (after cutting the cord, she says, "Take it away...and bring me another lover!"). Gran reopens the door, and Edina and Patsy leave, relieved. The episode ends with a flashback to Edina planning on giving Saffron up for adoption.

Eddy has been given a free electronic organizer and has used it to plan her entire day – when to drink water, when to exercise, and so on. However, despite a number of hints, she fails to remember her daughter's birthday. Also, Saffy is getting impatient because she has made no move to remodel the kitchen, which was destroyed by fire some time ago; in fact, she has not even chosen a design, although she has seen a doorhandle somewhere that she likes. Later that day, she remembers where she's seen the doorhandle: in New York City. She and Patsy take the Concorde across the Atlantic and enjoy a grand day out; Eddy finds and photographs the doorhandle and has her navel pierced. When they get home late that night, they fail for some time to notice that Saffy has remodeled the kitchen in their absence.  is the 89th day of the year (90th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Eddy and Patsy plan a fabulous New Years Eve party, but their plans are ruined when Patsy's sister Jackie (with whom she hadn't spoken to for over 20 years) pays a call while they are preparing to go out. Jackie is an older, crueller version of Patsy, and soon everyone hates her – everyone except Patsy, who is starstruck by her fabulous life of debauchery. Patsy insists on taking her sister to the party; Jackie, however, seems reluctant to leave the house, and disturbs Patsy when she asks for food and claims to be too tired to go out. Worse is to come: Jackie then confides that she is homeless and wants to stay with Eddie for a few months until she can raise money for a new project – a shelter for unwanted cats and dogs. Patsy, appalled, helps Jackie loot Edina's bedroom to raise the necessary funds, then brusquely shows her out. She then hurries to collect Edina and head for the party, but it's too late; for the first time in her adult life, Eddy faces the supreme humiliation of seeing in the New Year surrounded by her family in the sitting room. is the 96th day of the year (97th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A discussion on enlarging Edina's bedroom leads to a rare visit inside Serge's bedroom. While looking around, Saffron discovers a porn magazine and tries to throw it away, but Edina and Patsy prevent her. Patsy then begins reminiscing about their youthful orgies, but Eddy can't remember them, even though Patsy assures her she was there. The talk then turns to Edina's lack of sexual activity, and plans are made to hire male prostitutes via Edina's hairdresser Christopher for an old-fashioned orgy, which is scheduled for the same night as Saffron's "Genetics and Ethics" presentation at her university. The orgy doesn't start off well; Edina can't seem to get in the mood, and the prostitutes (one of whom, at least, is gay) are none too enthusiastic either. When Patsy tries to liven things up by popping in a porn film she has brought, it turns out to be Saffron's genetics video. Fearing the worst, Edina and Patsy, accompanied by Gran, Christopher, and his drag-queen boyfriend (who dresses a lot like Patsy, confusing Gran), rush off to the university, but it is too late: to Saffron's mortification (and the delight of the audience) the porn video – a home movie of one of the orgies Patsy remembers but Edina has forgotten – is already playing. As everyone watches, the camera pans over various intertwined couples to reveal a young Edina asleep in a corner next to a bag of crisps. is the 103rd day of the year (104th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Edina is hell-bent on winning a PR award to the point that she hires Will Self to write her acceptance speech and jockeys with arch-rival Claudia Bing for the best position in proximity to the stage. It's all for naught; Claudia wins, and Edina and Patsy head home in anger. Meanwhile, Saffron and Gerard, one of her professors, are having an affair at home. Edina has bigger fish to fry, though: she wants to come up with a campaign that will out-do Claudia's. Saffron finds out that Gerard is married with children. Edina hears about this and, in a rare defense of her daughter's honor, punches him in the face. At a PR meeting, Edina's speech is accidentally trashed, so she launches into a diatribe that proves to be quite successful.

Edina is set to appear in a mother/daughter fashion spread to be shot in France for a glam magazine; after she fails to secure Chloe Sevigny, Kate Beckinsdale, or Liv Tyler to play her daughter, she faces the realization that Saffy will have to do. Patsy is also invited for a shoot with "face of the moment" Erin O'Connor as her fashion "daughter." After a quarrelsome ride on the Eurostar, the group arrives in Paris, where it turns out that fashion photographer Rimmer plans a generation-spanning neo-punk group fashion spread, which Patsy completely disrupts. After a quarrel between Edina and Saffy, the previously guidebook-bound Saf agrees to do Paris Eddy's way. The pair shop, dine at fancy eateries - where Edina is shocked and delighted to learn that Saffy speaks fluent French (forgetting it was a part of Saffron's education) - and head to the Eiffel Tower to complete a tradition Edina and Patsy would do every year at Paris: flash their breasts at the world.

Somewhat inspired by "Sex and the City", this episode sees Edina once again battling the bulge. After realizing that in her clique (which includes Patsy, Katy Grin, Fleur, and Catriona) she is the "donkey", Edina decides to tackle her weight and enrolls in a boot camp-style exercise course. Saffron disapproves of her methods, as is her wont. Later, Edina has a dream where God and the Devil are arguing about her. Later, an argument with Saffron inadvertently reveals that the exercises ARE working. A svelter Edina meets up with her friends again, but is shocked to learn from Katy that despite her weight loss, she's "still too fat" to be the Sarah Jessica Parker of the group.

At home, Edina and Patsy are trying to get high. They suddenly hear a buzzing sound, which Patsy mistakes for a bee. It turns out to be Edina's cell phone, and when she answers, she thinks that it's Serge calling out for help. The police are summoned, and Saffron comes home to find Edina in a state of shock, but the police can't do a thing. It is then revealed that the phone accidentally picked up rehearsals for Saffron's play, "Self Raising Flower", which details her life and paints Edina and Patsy in the most unflattering of lights ("It will make Mommie Dearest look like Winnie the bloody Pooh!" Edina cries.). On the day of the premiere, Justin, Bo, Gran, and Marshall drop by to wish good luck to Saffron, at the expense of Edina. Saffron extends an olive branch of sorts by leaving out tickets for her mother; she is loath to attend, but eventually she and Patsy do go. The play goes over well – not, however, as a pitiful domestic tragedy, as Saffy expected, but as a comedy. At the end, the cast welcome the real Edina and Patsy on stage with them, leaving Saffron in the audience, her face buried in her hands. The next day, the girl who plays Saffron is so smitten with the real one that she offers her flowers, making Saffy distinctly nervous. is the 271st day of the year (272nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Edina's career is over. Bubble accidentally forwarded all the private information of Edina's upcoming gigs to everyone in her address book - including arch-rival Claudia Bing, who has sopped up a substantial amount of her jobs, including that of getting Twiggy work. Meanwhile, Patsy literally breaks down - she breaks her arm just above her wrist. Saffron reluctantly takes her to her doctor, and comes back with shocking news: Patsy has both osteoporosis AND the lowest bone mass in world history. Saffron concludes that it's symptomatic of menopause, the very mention of which sends Edina and Patsy in a state of shock. Saffron organizes a meeting of a local menopausal support group in the living room, while Edina provides garbage bags to prevent the guests from peeing on the furniture. The group becomes raucous and nothing is established. Later, Saffron bakes a pie and, overcome by the fumes, has a horrid nightmare where Patsy is a happy homemaker-type, even more annoying to Saffron than otherwise. Patsy drops a bombshell later on - she plans to have a baby! She bought Mick Jagger's sperm at an auction and plans to "replant" it inside herself... unless Saffron allows Patsy to use the spare room. For other uses, see 5th October (Serbia). ...

Upon returning home from Fashion Week activities, Edina bemoans the fact that her son is not in her life. During a visit from Bo and Marshall (who have apparently become born-again Christians in their endless quest for material success), it is inadvertently revealed that Serge is gay and living in New York, and that Marshall has "gay feelings", which he soon explores much to Bo's dismay. Against Saffron's wishes, Edina uses her upcoming trip to New York for their Fashion Week as a chance to reconnect with her son. With Patsy in tow, they hunt down information on Serge at an LGBT community center. A counselor (Whoopi Goldberg) spots them and in exchange for the information, Patsy and Edina get "married". Edina finally hunts down Serge, and is shocked to learn that her son is virtually a male equivalent of Saffron who works in a bookstore. While Serge is shocked that she views gays as nothing more than fashionable accessories, his partner, Martin, takes a shine to Edina. The reunited mother and son, along with Patsy and Martin, hit New York's Fashion Week with a vengeance. Serge, while out of his element, is nonetheless able to make it through. Edina and Patsy conclude their romp by accidentally setting a biker bar on fire and getting arrested. When they arrive home, Edina and Saffron sort of make up, and it is revealed that Edina has disowned Serge in favor of Martin, whom she has "adopted".

Edina's 'new' boyfriend Pete is a tape engineer who used to work at Abbey Road Studios during the time that The Beatles worked there, and who had found some unreleased tapes there. In the number two studio the girls have a ball and Edina sings her 'walking down the road' song she's composed in earlier episodes while we see one of their infamous hallucinary sixties flashbacks, where Patsy is a man, saying "Ginsberg is humping Ringo, it's fabulous." Back at home Elton John, who's invited to a party to celebrate the finding of the tapes, gets annoyed. He had worked with Lennon, but was only invited because he was expected to "tinkle the ivories" (play piano) in the background, to which he strongly objects and leaves. Finally Pete playes the tapes at the party but instead of The Beatles we hear Edina singing. Apparently this is because Patsy had pressed the record button in the studio by mistake on the reel-to-reel recorder whilst she was looking for a second bottle of champagne in the control room, and Edina unknowingly sang over the tapes. After realising they're lost forever, Pete promptly collapses on the floor.

Edina decides to remodel the kitchen (again), and calls up her friends Bettina and Max. But a lot has changed since we last saw them - now divorced, Max is gay and Bettina is clinically insane. Bettina transforms the kitchen into a stairless white box, but even Edina hates it. Patsy, meanwhile, has leaking problems and walks around with an IV stand. Saffron returns from her wedding to John in Kenya and reveals that he is a polygamist. Edina and Patsy head off to meet Kunz, an interior decorator, to get some ideas (where Patsy's problems literally explode). When those ideals fall through, Edina soon claims to have seen her ideal kitchen in a previous life, so she hires a therapist. What results is a channelling that causes so much disruption in the household that Saffron and Edina argue once again, and Edina winds up assaulting baby Jane (which is contrary to her behavior - Edina is known for many things, but physical violence to family members is not one of them). Saffron has finally reached her breaking point, and kicks Edina and Patsy out of her house (it's revealed that the deed is in her name) and her life forever.
