Celia reluctantly agrees to fill in as a last-minute replacement judge at the annual village flower show. When Eileen Bradshaw makes an appearance at the show, all eyes turn from the potted plants to Eileen.

Celia tries to stay aloof from local gossip, but a violent death and the arrest of somebody close to Celia force her into the fray.
