When a crimewave hits Finglas, Father Damien and Maria put together a neighbourhood watch scheme which Agnes and Winnie promptly sign up to - but are they really the best people to tackle crime in the area? After Cathy goes on yet another disastrous date, Agnes is determined to put Cathy's man troubles to rest once and for all. Betty and Mark lock horns over whether Bono should go to his school disco.

There's a storm blowing in Finglas and it soon claims its first victim, when the pipes in Winnie and Sharon's house burst. Thank goodness therefore, for Mrs Brown, who is on hand to offer a roof over their heads while repairs are carried out.

However, it's not long before there's a storm brewing in the Brown household too, when Agnes and Cathy discover living with best friends isn't the picnic they'd imagined. And Agnes has yet more on her plate when she receives the news of the death of Nelly Scullie, a neighbour she never knew - or liked - and is asked by Father Damian to do her eulogy.

Plus, there's Bono's 13th birthday to host. It might all seem too much for Agnes, until Buster drops a bombshell...
