However, after working together to retrieve her family's piglets, she became nicer to her cousins and apologized to her aunt for taking her wedding dress without permission, but were cut short by the arrival of their chauffeur, much to Celia's joy as she thought her mother came back for them, but is disappointed to see she wasn't in the car and when she asked the chauffeur about it, he sadly told her that he did tell her message to her mother and she didn't sent him to pick them up, but to give Celia a pair of shoes she forgot back home.
A saddened Celia takes the shoes and walks away, throwing them in the field, where they were retrieved by Megsie, who liked them and Celia told her she didn't want the shoes and that she can keep them if she wants, and Megsie gives her cousin her best clothes to wear everyday.
The next day, Isabel takes the children to a picnic, where Celia offers something to eat to Nanny McPhee, who politely declines and at Celia's inquiring, told her about her medals's meanings. However the happy mood is soon crashed when her cousins's uncle Phil arrived with a telegram saying that her uncle Rory died in action, much to the family's heartbreak.
Soon after that, Cyril and Norman traveled to London's war office to find information about her uncle's whereabouts and left a note to Megsie and Celia to help stop Isabel from selling the farm.
When Isabel was reading the contract, Celia distracted her and Phil by screaming and saying she saw a mouse, and signaled to Megsie to hide the pen. However, Phil had more pens in his coat, but before Isabel could finish signing the contract, an enemy plane accidentally dropped a bomb in the field, which Celia identified as an un-exploded bomb which could destroy the harvest.
And soon Norman and Cyril arrived to the house revealing they learned that Rory was still alive, much to the family's joy. But they were soon reminded by Mr. Docherty about the bomb in the field and had a instructions manual of how to deactivate it, but when Mr. Docherty fainted from shock, the children decided to deactivate the bomb themselves with Celia handing Megsie her scissors to cut the wires and with Mr. Edelweiss's help theÿ manage to stop the explosion and to harvest the wheat, and after that Celia was magically awarded with Nanny McPhee's green medal, but then notice that Nanny McPhee was leaving them, as Mrs. Docherty points they don't need her anymore but the kids and Isabel refuse to believe that and chase after her, however they see they didn't need her as Rory arrived from the war with an injured arm and embraced his wife and children and also was introduced to Celia and Cyril and welcomed them to the family as well.
