Hugh returns from a quick foray to the supermarket for emergency supplies to bolster morale after her cousin Sinead is jilted at the altar, only to find all the relatives facing another upset: grandma has died.
At least the wedding food and flowers might be repurposed. Aunty Ngaire is on the case, despite being in the midst of an existential crisis and engaged in an ongoing argument with daughter Tui
about the merits of making her mark in the world, outside of the kitchen. No way is a death going to interrupt Shannon's plans to chase a bit of cheap trouser on a Saturday night.
Soon-to-be-mum Katherine is floundering in the paddling pool, giving short shrift to hubby Ari's concerns about this combo not being tikanga. Reluctant groom Dean pathetically hovers.
Storm vociferously offers unrequested grief therapy tips. And Aidan, originally tasked with filming the wedding, now has his eye, and camera, firmly fixed on recording the resulting family antics for posterity.
