This New Year is all about reconciliation and fresh starts in the Brown household, but not everyone seems to have got the message. Grandad's brother Micky is fresh out of prison and decides to stop by for a visit. Everyone except Grandad is suspicious when he shows up asking for 5,000 euros to invest in a South African gold mine. Winnie, inspired by Cathy's book, is on a daredevil mission to change the trajectory of her life, while Mrs Brown's boys are forced to have a heart to heart.

Suspicion surrounds Cathy's creepy boyfriend, Boris. Buster and Dermot are convinced he is a vampire and hatch a plan to save Cathy, which leaves her mortified. Sharon has boyfriend troubles of her own, and Father Damien has been called away to tend to some depressed chickens. Meanwhile, Buster convinces Agnes she should have her antique vase valued. Who knows how much it could be worth? After all, it has been handed down through generations, and she plans to leave it to Cathy as her inheritance.
