Former girl group member turned music producer Maxine Clarke is left with a dilemma when Sweet Gyal threaten to ditch her: accept that her glory days are over, or reclaim the spotlight for herself?

With Sweet Gyal in the recording studio, Maxine is on a mission to find her former bandmates, reform Variety and get them back to the big time. Her husband Neil tries to spice up their love life.

It's Neil's 40th, but Maxine has more important things on her mind. She needs a third band member, fast. But where do all the MILFs hang out? Unfortunately for Neil, Mickey hasn't forgotten his big day, and he's got a surprise in store.

To Maxine's annoyance, Sweet Gyal find a new manager and a recording contract though she does secure a gig for the revised Variety at the Crown pub. Mickey and Neil turn up to support them and are chatted up by two young women. Mikey convinces Sarah that she is the only one for him but Mel does not want to let Maxine down after a successful appearance by telling her what she has seen in the toilets.
