When William's secretary calls in sick, the ever-helpful Hester volunteers to run the office. She must get creative when an important new client shows up for an appointment and William is nowhere to be found.

Emma finally sets a date for her wedding. The church is booked, the jet-setting parents of the groom fly in, and the wedding party assembles for the grand occasion. But no one can make an entrance quite like Hester.

Determined to give their bedroom a modern makeover, Hester brings in local builder and decorator Mr. Pringle, to William's dismay. Catching Hester wearing a mudpack gives Mr. Pringle such a fright that he falls downstairs and is indisposed. As Hester and William carry on with the redecorating, Emma rings to announce that they are now the grandparents of a boy named Guy.
