Following the end of Motherland, Amanda is divorced and forced to downsize and move from Chiswick to So-Ha (South Harlesden where she continues to raise her two children Georgie and Manus, who are now teenagers). She ends up being reunited with Anne as Amanda tries to climb the social ladder of the other mothers at the school which her children and Anne's son Darius both attend. Seeing a way in through the football club she signs up her kids up despite her own lack of interest while also dealing with her neighbour Mal who also is one of the school parents. Upon realising Georgie has befriended Morten, the daughter of a local celebrity chef Della, Amanda is given the opportunity to meet with her the same night as Anne offers her to go for drinks causing chaos and trying to balance to disastrous results.
