They know they are different to -#39;normal-#39; girls but their attempts to find out what being an ordianry teenager are like - buying nice clothes instead of wearing Mum-#39;s odd hand-made garments, reading teenage magazines etc - are greeted with fury by their Dad. But when Dad has a stroke and ends up in hospital, unable to move or speak, Prue suddenly discovers what it-#39;s like to have a little freedom.
