M'Lynn è in ansia per la figlia Shelby, che è incinta nonostante il parere contrario dei medici. Shelby infatti è diabetica. La consolano le amiche Ouiser, una litigiosa signora con due mariti alle spalle, Clairee e Annelle, che sta fuggendo da un matrimonio infelice. Il bambino nasce sano, ma Shelby peggiora e, nonostante il trapianto di un rene fornito da M'Lynn, dopo alcuni mesi muore. Nonna M'Lynn si dedica al nipotino.
