It's Christmas at the Brown household and Agnes's son Trevor is coming back from the missions abroad for the first time in four years. Agnes is determined to make this Christmas a truly special celebration, with her whole family present at last. But, as with the Brown household nothing is straightforward. Son, Dermot, recently married to Maria, is under pressure to spend Christmas with his in-laws, the posh Nicholsons. Maria's mother, Hilary, is doing her best to belittle Agnes's efforts to decorate the Brown family home. And neighbour Winnie needs help finding a job. Dermot's dodgy friend, Buster, has his own problems delivering the turkey... And to cap it all, there's still no sign of any snow.

Note: This is the first TV appearance of Agnes' youngest son, Trevor.

Dermot and Maria's wedding is just days away and tensions are running high in the Brown household. The groom is getting cold feet. His best man, Buster, cannot find anything good to say about Dermot in his speech. And to cap it all Agnes is mystified why Cathy has given her a book on homosexuality - is she trying to tell Agnes that one of the family is gay? When Dermot's pre-marriage nerves get the better of him, he locks himself away in a cupboard. Father Quinn is bemused to have to give Maria and Dermot their pre-marriage talk in slightly unusual circumstances - with the mother of the groom in attendance and the groom himself in a cupboard. Buster finally finishes his speech and to Agnes's delight it's very touching - so touching that it draws Dermot out of his hideaway. On the morning of the wedding, Agnes takes a moment to lament her son flying the nest. But this only lasts a moment before Dermot asks her if he and Maria can live with her. Meanwhile, Agnes goes on a hunt for the homosexual in the family - until eventually she realises it is son Rory. With help from Cathy and a greetings card, Agnes reassures him as only she can, that she loves him whatever his sexual orientation.

The lead-up to New Year starts with some sad news as Maria discovers that her Auntie Mary has died in a car accident. As if that wasn't bad enough, Father Damien and grumpy new parish priest Father McBride announce that Mary's pet parrot will need to be put down unless someone offers to take it in. Luckily, Agnes has her New Year's party planning to take her mind off things - if only people would stop turning down her invitations. Meanwhile, Mark and Betty have decided that Bono is going to attend the infamous local school, St Stephen's. Convinced that it will be too rough for her beloved grandson, Agnes does everything in her power to convince the couple to change their minds: also, Dermot and Buster dress up as Laurel and Hardy and Agnes learns from Rory that Dino doesn't eat meat and only vegetables; Agnes response is not good as she vows to get revenge on him with roughage: however, the payback ends in disaster, when Rory reveals that Dino is not a vegetarian and that he is allergic to meat. His confession happened moments after Dino got lured into Agnes trap, which causes Dino's body to become swollen.
This episode ends with the cast performing "Auld Lang Syne", with a little help from the local Pipes and Drums group.

Agnes and Winnie are excited about going to Maria's hen party, until Cathy tells them they are not invited because they are too old. Undeterred, Agnes decides she'll crash the event and show the girls that she and Winnie are not too old to party. All she has to do is find out where the party is being held. Agnes thinks her luck is in when Dermot tells her that the girls are meeting at local pub, Foley's. But when Agnes bursts into the pub in full hen party attire it becomes clear that Dermot "may" have misinformed her. That night, after bringing a huge dildo to a funeral, Agnes mistakenly invites Maria's mother to dinner. Finding out that Mrs. Nicholson is so sophisticated that she has two toilets in her house, Agnes has one fitted in an understairs cupboard in order to impress her. Despite this, and despite drafting in Rory's cordon-bleu friend Dino to cook dinner, on the night Agnes is incredibly nervous and turns to drink. With Agnes incredibly desperate to delight Mrs. Nicholson, the evening descends into chaos as the drink takes hold, the aftermath of Agnes's hen party mistake plays out, and Grandad decides to go to the toilet in the wrong cupboard, and he gets caught in the element of surprise.

"We had a singer that our manager didn't like, so we fired him. So then I asked Axl to join L.A. Guns and he was in the band for about six, seven months. The same manager ended up hating Axl and he wanted to fire him. We're all living together at this point and Axl and I sat down and went 'What are we going to do?' So we both said 'Fuck that', and came up with the name Guns N' Roses, which was going to be just a record label that we'd put singles out on."

And I got on top there, there was another girl from my office, she was right behind me. And as I was shooting, as the President was coming down from Houston Street making his turn, it was about a half-way down there, I heard a shot, and he slumped to the side, like this. Then I heard another shot or two, I couldn't say it was one or two, and I saw his head practically open up [places fingers of right hand to right side of head in a narrow cone, over his right ear], all blood and everything, and I kept on shooting. That's about all, I'm just sick, I can't…

Dermot wants to ask his childhood friend, Buster, to be best man, but Agnes has set her heart on Mark filling the position. And Buster is a crook of whom both the strong-willed Maria and Agnes strongly disapprove. On top of this, Agnes's best friend and neighbour, Winnie, is distraught. Her husband Jacko has been rushed to hospital and cannot possibly afford to pay for the operation he urgently needs. And, needing cash for the wedding, Dermot has allowed himself to get embroiled in one of Buster's stupid - and dodgy - money-making scams. It's time for Mrs. Brown to exercise all her diplomatic skills, starting with "accidentally" letting Maria know all about Dermot's best man decision.
