Leo Vincent is a successful chef, who has stolen most of his recipes from ex-wife Gina Benelli, whom he cuckolded for years with second spouse Sam. Now Sam is convinced he is having an affair and he is - with Gina. Gina has another problem with rebellious daughter Teresa, who is allergic to water, but things come to a head at a party for Sam and Leo's son Michael's eighteenth birthday party, when Sam learns the truth and reacts angrily. Rather than hate each other the two women empathize, casting Leo as the villain but both rush to his hospital bed-side when he makes a suicide bid.

As friends and family members gather for the funeral, emotions run high and one or two relationships take a new turn. Plus, the will reveals a few surprises.

Gina confronts Rosa for helping Teresa get an abortion without informing her and reaches breaking point after a heated altercation, telling her the wedding at the Penrose is cancelled. Elsewhere, Michael and Tina have some serious doubts about their burgeoning relationship.

The drama concludes as Gina is sent into a tailspin when James threatens to make a shock revelation to Teresa
