Can Sheila have an influence on the workaholic Plonskers?
Thursday, March 15th at 9.30pm

The mother of a rowdy pack of adventurous Englishmen concludes her time with a success-driven family of once and future CEOs in Trading Spouses, screening Thursday, March 15th at 9:30pm.

It seems like a fantasy at first, the ultimate chance to find out if the grass actually is greener on the other side. But the fairytale gets twisted as the new parent moves in, meets the new family and realises it may be way more than he or she bargained for.

While some parents are welcomed with open arms, others face mutiny from their new household, taking family comedy and – drama – to a whole new place.

Families on Trading Spouses each receive a US$50,000 prize for participating in the show, but unbeknownst to the participants (and their families), how the cash is spent will be up to the surrogate parent.

In this episode Sheila Welsh feels like she’s losing her battle with workaholic Jeff Plonsker - who is up and working in the wee hours of the morning.

When he reacts unenthusiastically to the news that son Joseph has been accepted to his first-choice college, she makes it clear that everything in life doesn’t have to be perfect all the time and his children need to know this.

Will Sheila convince the Plonskers to find more balance in their life and spend more time together as a family? Find out in Trading Spouses, screening Thursday, March 15th at 9:30pm.
