A reference to the common perception that Women’s Institute branches are little more than excuses to share preserves recipes and sing hymns.

-Mmm... No, thanks. It's not my scene.
-Shame. Mind you, it's not all jam and Jerusalem. We also do important stuff.

arc
An arc is the internal change the hero goes through in a story. It can be positive change of character — a happy ending - or a negative or no change — which gives us a tragedy.
The main character on "V For Vendetta" has an arc. She goes from being a normal everyday kind of a girl to a revolutionary.
