Birds of a Feather

Tracey has to decide what sort of send-off to give her ex-husband when he dies. She has to contend with everyone else's opinion though as Sharon wants it to be all about the boys, Dorien has sorted out her outfit already and the criminal fraternity of Chigwell also want to make their mark.

Tracey's house ends up burgled during Darryl's funeral. The family decide that they are the ones who have to track down the missing possessions and set out on a trail which involves the Theydon Boys drag club, a snooker club and a pawnbroker.

Sharon is disapproving of Tracey dating Barry. The sisters end up quareling as Tracey hasn't taken Garth's feelings into account either. Dorien hopes to solve the dispute, as she has started a new job, agony aunt for Get-a-Life magazine.

Tracey is annoyed with both Dorien and Sharon. She decides she has had enough of Dorien entertaining gentlemen callers and Sharon not bringing in a wage, so both of them are thrown out. The pair end up back at Sharon's old bedsit and realise that if they present a united front and stand up to Tracey they may get let back in, but will their truce last long enough to do so?

Auntie Vera has a multitude of problems and so tells Sharon and Tracey that she is moving in. However with the one spare room currently housing Dorien, she is told family has to come first.

Tracey is most welcoming when an attractive visitor named Emma turns up at her front door. Dorien is shocked, whilst Travis is over the moon.

Travis has news about school that he's worried to break to his mum. Sharon thinks that she can easily pass herself off as Tracey and solve all Travis' problems, but her efforts lead the family into a mess that only Dorien can get them out of.

Sharon and Tracey believe that Dorien may soon be turning 70 years old, and whether she likes it or not they are determined to celebrate.
