After two hours of work and a delivery to a retirement home, Chi falls in love with the concept of never working again.

Dependent pest and stay-at-home-daughter Chi is once again forced to contend with life and death, and a long list of things she really ought to have done by now. Her dysfunctional family navigate the fallout of yet another unexpected bereavement, with mixed results. Chi turns to her list of ‘things you should have done’ in this time of need and opts to do ‘get therapy’, something her parents always knew she’d need to do anyway. This sees her path collide with Ruth, a totally unhinged, tough-love grief counsellor, whose questionable methods leave a lot to be desired. Ruth manhandles Chi’s list and vows to help her get over her grief and move on from being able to see her dead parents.

Chi looks to start a new life with Michelle in Spain, finally accepting (kind of) that she’s a burden to her auntie Karen.

Chi is rightfully asked if she’s ‘thick’ for bothering an electrician working on an out-of-order lift. For once in her life, Chi is forced to reconcile with her own intelligence. At her weekly grief counselling sessions, Ruth doesn’t exactly hold back, telling Chi she is indeed simple and not to bother seeking adult education. Chi sets out to prove her wrong and breaks into Ramsgate College in search of an education.

Grief counsellor Ruth has had enough of Chi feeling down in the dumps due to multiple bereavements in a short space of time, even though it’s a perfectly natural way to feel, and Ruth is literally paid to listen. Ruth sets Chi the task of comparing herself to those less fortunate and instructs her to help out at a food bank, something Ruth does to make herself feel better. Meanwhile Dave and Lucas are feeling the financial squeeze and settling for a dinner of bread and cress, with only ten pounds left to their name. Chi informs them that she’s giving back by going to the food bank and asks if they want to come along.

Chi’s ghost parents tell her she should really be worried about dying alone and encourage her to find a life partner. Chi casts a very wide and desperate net for potential love interests, approaching almost everyone in Ramsgate with her phone number. Meanwhile Lucas has gotten himself a job at the cinema but is crumbling under the pressures of the job and the perfectly normal expectations of his manager, Kenneth. Lucas resorts to stress-eating the pick ’n’ mix when nobody is looking.

Chi organises a family camping holiday to help Karen relax, since she was 'diagnosed uptight' and told she’s unlikely to get pregnant if she doesn’t lower her blood pressure.

Pancake day is a highly sentimental time for Chi. Dave confides in Lucas about his health scare. They vow to make the most of every moment, and that begins with pancake day.
