Ghosts

Mike approaches Alison to discuss their finances following the loss of their B&B business. However, Alison is more preoccupied with plotting revenge on the ghosts for April Fools' Day and recruits a playful Humphrey to execute her plans. But who will prove the hardest to fool? Meanwhile, Mike is shocked to find someone from their insurance company on his doorstep.

In a bid to make some much-needed money, Alison and Mike look into selling some land. The plan proves far from straightforward, however, with Lady Button up in arms at the mere thought of losing some of her beloved estate. Thomas enters a competition that he hopes will finally see him become a poet, but hearing Lady Button speak so passionately about Button House gives him an idea or two.

Alison and Mike are forced to cosy up to Barclay if their plan to sell some land to the golf consortium is going to work. Elsewhere, Alison is involved in a silent negotiation of her own – she has designs on Lady Button’s bedroom but can’t quite muster the courage to ask her outright if she would consider relocating. The ghosts become fixated on solving the mystery of Kitty’s death.

The ghosts are bored, and Pat comes up with new entertainment for the gang. Mike and Alison host their international buyer at Button House in order to confirm the land sale, but Mike’s antics threaten the whole deal – can he pull it back in time? Humphrey is offered a fresh perspective on his strained marriage and finally learns some French, with a little help from a most unexpected source.

Robin has an epiphany that has a far-reaching impact on the rest of the ghosts, who each struggle to believe his prediction. Alison suggests a spontaneous night out with Mike, just like the old days! They try to get the old gang together, but with such short notice, only Obi and his new girlfriend, Brenda, are free.
