Penultimate episode of this series.

After the chaos of the storm, the neighbours begin to take stock of the damage and discover what 'gifts' have been left for them by the toiling animals and under the pale morning sky, something of Charity's past is revealed while Elle makes a start on setting things right. She'd better hurry up, the meeting is tonight and people want answers...

The wind is relentless, storming about outside the houses in Lower Leigh. The neighbours are still up as the night ticks by, murmuring away into the early hours, they put forward their theories to one another, each idea more unlikely than the last. Some hope that the glimmering low light really does hold a magic that will keep them safe in the end, some are determined to cut through to cold reality and find the dark heart of the neighbourhood and its history, obscured as it is by selective memory and hope for a better future. And then, there is the strange man in his big cat car, prowling about. There is regret and the hollow pain of past betrayal. There is new romance. All in all, its a cauldron of a night, swirling and bubbling as we approach Eric's deadline of Mim-mayhem.

The apprentices begin to explore their talents after Elle vanquishes the vermin. Ruby witnesses the magic, or is it all trickery? She's determined to find out. Eric is put under pressure to reveal more than he wants to...is he hiding something? The wind blows us through Lower Leigh as the neighbours battle with their consciences and their memories. So much for the curfew, those streets aren't as quiet as you'd think...

With Piggy pegged, the neighbour comrades discuss a plan to get the Mims back under control. Eric doesn't want to play but when Ruby gets involved they learn much more about what might be going on. Meanwhile there's an outbreak of misery in the area and several neighbours find themselves at the mercy of the Mims and their bizarre activity. With only 24 hours to go until the Mims really let loose, will the neighbours work out what on earth is going on?

There's a reunion at the police station. Ruby returns to Lower Leigh to follow up on her suspicions and Gavin begins a search for more information. Preparations are stepping up at the church and Eric continues to hide away from the ever-rising tide of Mim activity which is getting so lively that something is going to go wrong at some point, you can just feel it in the warming air.

Worried about the level of Mim activity in the neighbourhood, Gavin decides to take action. Shirley is brought face-to-face with her childhood and Charity is running from the police. Join the neighbours in their quest to find Padma's heir and stop the old stories causing havoc.
