The Durrells in Corfu

Gerry is blissfully happy with his growing collection of animals. For the rest of the Durrells, times are hard, so Louisa declares that things have to change and decides to sell their meagre produce at the local market-attracting the attention of Englishman, Hugh Jarvis. Meanwhile Larry struggles with writers block and new landlady Vasilia seems intent on making life difficult for everyone.

Larry's latest novel is published in England, however, everyone seems far too busy to notice. Leslie's interest is piqued when he overhears Margo and Pavlos discussing how kumquat liquor is made. Hugh informs Louisa that he has told Vasilia it is over between them. Theo declines Louisa's offer of tutoring Gerry. Louisa delights in arranging a reading evening for Larry.

The Durrells plan to throw Louisa a surprise birthday party. Gerry is forced to smarten up for his first tutorial with Mr. Kralefsky. Upon spotting a handsome boy at the market, Margo informs Gerry that she has given up being a nun. Theo arrives from a photography day out aiming to be a portrait artist. Leslie believes he could solve the family's money worries.

Larry has the mumps and blames Vasilia. Louisa announces that it's a good excuse to keep Aunt Hermione away from the house as she's coming to visit from England. Aunt Hermione and her travelling companion Mrs. Haddock arrive a day early and take refuge from a storm at Theo's house. Mrs. Haddock is a medium and announces that she'll hold a séance so Louisa can speak to her husband one last time.

Donald is tutoring Gerry on the terrace but having little luck. Larry realizes he is going to end his relationship with Vasilia, while Gerry lets it be known that Donald is ruining his life because of his unrequited love for Margo. Hugh and Spiro decide to hold a cricket match between the Greeks and the Brits. Vasilia remains determined to wed Larry, until she is reunited with Hugh...

Hugh asks Louisa to be his and to come back to England with him. Louisa decides that she is in love with Corfu so cannot be with Hugh. Vasilia, in a fit of jealousy, stabs Hugh and flees the island. Leslie delivers Leonora's baby by himself.
