William and Mary

William Shawcross' search for love stops when he sees Mary Gilcrest. But their first date is a disaster, and it's not helped when, at the worst possible time, she discovers he's an undertaker.

William fears things with Mary are ruined, but she's preoccupied with a truant teenager and her meddling mother, Molly, who's got "fix-up" plans of her own.

William and Mary's night of passion is clouded when William's daughter goes missing. Mary gets suspended for trying to save a baby's life, while William's latest memorial service is literally explosive.

William is working overtime handling the tragic deaths of three teens. Mary has kicked Molly out for her meddling, and she dashes William's hopes when she tells him to slow down.

The death of William's mother throws him into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Mary deals with a troubled pregnant teen and is stunned when an old flame turns up on her doorstep.

An awkward encounter with Mary's ex, Reuben, persuades William to end his relationship with Mary and sell the business. But when she learns of his plans, Mary makes a dramatic plea to start over.
