Dom receives a surprise visit the night of his 'wager-won 'last' home dinner date with Jean, to teen daughter Celine's delight: her mother, actress Claudette, he expects once more to be welcomed home after years away 'on tour', having broken up with much younger lover Jack. As Jean must now prepare alone to return home to Manchester and have the precious Burmese 'pigeon blue' sapphire ring attested, she receives nasty surprises: a burglar fails to steal it, and when the real estate agent comes settle the sale, much worse.
