Assumpta is having trouble with the brewery. She only has one customer who drinks draught stout so she cancels her order. However, Brendan, her `one customer', gets the hump but is happy again when the brewery, worried that it will get out that an Irish pub has stopped selling the national drink, offer to give her the stuff for nothing until the tourist season comes round again.

Ambrose escapes death when a statue of St John falls off the church roof and just misses his head. He decides that he has a vocation to be a priest and he calls off his wedding to Niamh. She rushes to a furious Assumpta for comfort who tells Peter exactly what she thinks of him and his church. Niamh gets rather well-oiled and decides to hold `hardly a wedding reception' at Fitzgerald's.

Assumpta is worried about Niamh and asks Peter to have a word with Ambrose because she thinks that he listens to him. Ambrose has a change of heart after talking to Peter and he proposes to Niamh. Assumpta thanks Peter for his help and she gives him the money that she made on the reception to mend the church roof. Peter and Assumpta have reached a greater understanding and are now emerging as good friends.
