After Henry

- Season 3

(1990)

Christmas at home is not the same without Henry, so when Sarah, Eleanor, and Clare are invited elsewhere for the day, they all accept.

Clare seems to have found the perfect boyfriend at last, but Sarah has limits as to how much perfection she can stand.

Sarah suspects her mother of reading her post and answering the phone in her part of the house while she's out, but Russell's the one who comes up with a way to find out.

Eleanor has been accusing her family of plotting to send her to a retirement home for years, so she decides to explore the delights of The Sycamores.

Clare has been working away from home for a while, so Sarah thinks about renting out her room, and Eleanor has definite ideas about the quality of tenant they should be seeking.

Sarah is hosting a dinner party but has not invited Eleanor--and it turns out that Clare has arranged a party on the same day.

Clare feels insulted when her new boyfriend pays more attention to fixing up her new car than to her.

Sarah figures out how she can use her fund-raising activities for the local hospital as a way of securing a nice quiet evening with a nice quiet man.

When a crime occurs at Russell's shop, Eleanor brings her experience of reading Agatha Christie novels to bear in solving the case.

Eleanor intends to show off her social skills by giving a party, but Sarah is not on the guest list. Unfortunately, she involves Vera Polling in the preparations.

Sarah meets a smooth-talking gentleman who uses astrology as part of his chat-up routine but doesn't reckon with any of his predictions coming true.

When a Eleanor's sister comes to visit, her version of her past life is called into question.

Sarah suddenly finds her uneventful life at a crossroads when she is offered a chance to change it completely. But can she take it...?
