Birds of a Feather

Mouthy Sharon’s living in an Edmonton tower block and is clearly down on her luck, her older sister Tracey’s still living in Chigwell with son Travis, while man-eating Dorien has repackaged herself as Foxy Cohen, author of the sex blockbuster Sixty Shades of Green.

Now that Sharon has given up work, Tracey is the only one in the house bringing in a wage, and it's not nearly enough to pay the bills, so Dorien kindly offers to dip into her savings to help out. However, when she calls the bank it emerges every penny she had has been spent on legal fees. In desperation, the sisters take their old friend to a car-boot sale and sell her beloved collection of designer clothes, right down to the shoes on her feet - which are snapped up by former TOWIE star Amy Childs.

Tracey can't ignore the fact that Garth and Marcie aren't getting any time alone - so she decides to change the bedroom arrangements to give them space and privacy. After failing to sleep in the lounge, Sharon tries to bed down in the loft, where she makes a discovery that might solve all their problems.

Tracey, Sharon and Dorien become involved with three very different men, while Travis has romantic troubles of his own. However, everyone's relationship hopes take a knock when Garth and Marcie organise a pop-up restaurant evening at the house to fund the refurbishment of their new pub.

Tracey has Botox injections and Travis gets a tattoo, but how will his mum react? Meanwhile, it looks as if Sharon might need a hearing aid.

Sharon's estranged husband Chris gets in touch asking for a divorce so he can marry his new girlfriend Angie, but Tracey has her doubts. Later, at the happy couple's engagement party, Dorien meets a handsome blind man who takes a shine to her.

Tracey, Sharon and Dorien lose their jobs and face a financial crisis, leading to a big argument in which several home truths are revealed. However, Garth and Marcie's pub has launched successfully, thanks to a mystery celebrity endorsement, which could help solve their problems.

Sharon and Tracey get a glimpse of a possible future when they see two elderly sisters in the supermarket and it worries them. Dorien's court case comes to a conclusion – but what will the verdict be?
