Motherland

It's time for Amanda's festive soiree (dress code: tinsel and tiaras), and nothing says Christmas like Evil Santa and Anne's Porn Star Martinis.

As a nit pandemic sweeps the school, Julia stands accused of causing a second wave, so she throws party that brings all the drama (and head lice) to her door.

Liz helps Kevin with his divorce, Amanda battles Meg over trampoline club, and Julia considers religion in a bid to get Ivy into the right secondary school.

Mother's Day leaves Julia feeling ignored, Meg being spoiled rotten, and Amanda enduring a passive aggressive lunch with her appalling mother (Joanna Lumley).

Julia, Liz, and Meg endure the school bus trip from hell with their nemesis Ashley, while Kevin helps Amanda pack up her shop, with unimaginable consequences.

At the PTA charity FUNraiser, Julia resolves to leave Paul for her builder Garry, Kev's attempts to clear the air with Amanda backfire, and Anne finally loses her rag.

School's out for the festive season, so the mums (and Kevin) host the ultimate blended celebrations, but the big day takes a shocking turn at Julia's.
