Episode Synopsis

Buckle up, because this week the Tucker sisters go full solo—well, in conversation only, because God forbid Olive actually sits in a room by herself without spiraling. It’s a wild ride through childhood memories, solo travels, wedding drama, horse mishaps, and the occasional stolen ice skate (allegedly).Olive kicks things off with the concept of "solo living"—you know, those mysterious people who choose to do things alone. Sandra owns it. Catherine claims Sandra was always a loner, which Sandra disputes until we learn she basically photobombed Catherine’s RTE debut as a child, uninvited but clearly thriving.Cue flashback: Catherine the child star (advertising carpets, no less), Sandra the accidental TV extra, and Olive—ever the suspicious one—trying to figure out if solo travellers are inspirational or international smugglers.Sandra’s independent streak is the episode's true MVP. From sneaky cinema marathons in Fairview to solo ice skating at Silver Ski, she was basically Dublin’s youngest free spirit—long before it was trendy. She even went rogue at age 12 in Pontins, swimming solo for six hours while Catherine was stuck in the chalet with their mam, bored and bitter.Of course, Olive can’t imagine soloing anything other than a spa day, and even then, she'd need a massage, wine, and probably a hot towel hug. Catherine? She’ll do things alone—as long as someone’s with her.Things take a turn into wedding territory: who gets invited, who doesn’t, and what happens when randomers accidentally crash your big day. Sandra drops a bombshell: someone once turned up at the wrong wedding and still made it into the family photos. That’s commitment to free cake.They also cover the horror of bringing kids to weddings (spoiler: they’re against it), the shady business of blow-dry dodgers, and the high-stakes drama of suitcase mix-ups—Olive once ended up with someone else’s robe, slippers, and false teeth. Talk about a plot twist.The episode wraps up with a group consensus: if you want to go solo, knock yourself out—but don’t expect Olive to talk to you if she sees you alone at the bar. She’ll assume you’ve either been dumped or you're trying to join her table and start a cult.Another classic Tucker tale full of laughs, love, and low-key judgement.
