Yetta meets her match in the form of Pete's Mum Violet, when she, and her husband Stan come to visit. Violet bluntly and somewhat rudely gives Yetta her marching orders. Yetta refuses to be beaten, especially at the implication that her house needs cleaning, something which Violet is doing a lot of. Will Yetta give in, or has she discovered the real reason for Violet's abruptness and relate to her problem. Meanwhile Tammy's desperately trying to get away from the mad house for the weekend and is busy telephoning everyone she knows on the off-chance they're having a party.

Pete is seen having a meal with a good looking young lady, who's really an old friend in the advertising business called Vic. Sally, already paranoid about her age, turns to Carole and Yetta for advice... which of course was a big mistake. Reading into the situation Pete's snappy attitude to Tammy (who wont tidy her room), a few raunchy pages in his autobiography and the purchase of a bicycle, Yetta and Carole soon have Sally thoroughly convinced that Pete is going through a mid-life crisis and is liable to leave her for Vic at any second. Will sanity prevail and will Carole and Yetta finally sort out their differences?

Pete's making a TV advert and the advert producers want to film it in the Rokeby's front room. Yetta, dubbing herself Yetta Garbo, is thrilled at the chance of stardom. Pete of course doesn't want her anywhere near the cameras but her influence is unstoppable. David is cast as the lead character of the commercial and manages to blackmail his sister into being his chaperon, but Tammy's a bit more preoccupied with one of the production assistants to really care. Meanwhile Yetta's twice removed cousin Dolly turns up. Past hatred between the two is revealed which spells bad news for Pete when Dolly herself also gets cast in the advert.

Pete thinks he can get rid of Yetta by rigging a seance and convincing her that her late husband Sam is calling her to his side in heaven. The seance goes ahead and it appears Yetta has fallen for it. Strangely enough extra information also filters through which Pete didn't know about. Has the seance become real, or has Yetta been tipped off? Pete's also being overprotective of his daughter and forbids her to see Charlie 'the clapper-board guy' more than once a week suggesting she should help around the house to fill her spare time. Tammy reacts like any normal oppressed teenager would... she starts cleaning and dusting while dressed like a 1940s housewife and later, a maid.

Pete's sent Yetta 'to Coventry' again, so Yetta fights back by doing what she's supposed to do, scare people. Jack has the idea that if Pete goes public with the story, it could make them enough money to leave Meadow Road, so Pete talks to a repor... sorry, Journalist called Elly, who like most repor... sorry, Journalists cannot be trusted. Realising that the public eye will ruin his family life more than a sulking ghost, Pete tries to make peace with Yetta, but can Elly be stopped? Meanwhile a very good observation from a scientist finally makes Pete and Sally realise how badly they've subconciously neglected Tammy and an apology from Yetta does not go unheard.
