As the sixth episode of season 4 of The Durrells in Corfu, Episode 6, continues the journey of the Durrell family as they seek to find peace and happiness on the beautiful Greek island. The episode opens with the family still grappling with their recent financial troubles, which have forced them to consider selling their beloved home in Corfu. However, they are given a glimmer of hope when a wealthy businessman offers to buy the house at a fair price.
Meanwhile, Louisa (Keeley Hawes) struggles to accept that her eldest son, Larry (Josh O'Connor), is truly in love with his fiancée, Nancy (Milo Parker), and is set on marrying her despite Louisa's misgivings. She seeks solace in the company of Spiros (Alexis Georgoulis), a charming local man who has always been a source of comfort for her.
As the family prepares for Larry's wedding, they are also dealing with the arrival of an unexpected guest: Louisa's Aunt Hermione (Barbara Flynn), a stern and domineering woman who is determined to impose her will on the Durrells. Her presence causes tensions to run high, particularly between Louisa and her sister, Margo (Daisy Waterstone), who is struggling to find her place in the world and is resentful of Hermione's judgmental attitude.

The episode is filled with stunning vistas of the island's rugged coastline, shimmering seas, and lush greenery, evoking the sense of wonder and freedom that has drawn the family to Corfu in the first place.
