But will Maria like what she's being offered?
Sally calls Maria and Mary together for a meeting about the Christmas Market and when Maria reveals that a local councillor has resigned, Mary points out that she and Sally will be locking horns sooner than expected.
When Sally suggests they should join forces, she offers Maria the role of mascot in her election campaign, leaving Maria suitably unimpressed.
