Episode synopsis
Flora throws an anniversary dinner in memory of her late husband, and entrusts the culinary preparations to Cissie, which leads to a mix-up of labels, and Epsom salts are substituted for common salt, giving the diners the runs. The labels are replaced but somehow history manages to repeat itself — literally.
