JIM: Misery.

Misery on steroids.

AVA: Oh, great.

Eleven, double word,
so that's 22.

Oh. So how many points
are you winning by?

Not many.

How many "not many"?

203.

What?

You're miles better than me.

Not miles.
Meters, maybe.

[sighs] It's these
new tablets I'm taking.

You know,
for me bladder issues.

- Anti-something or others.
- Anti-cholinergics.

Well, they can cause
cognitive problems, apparently.

Confusion, wooly head.
Daftness.

I'm usually better than this.

When me and your gran
used to...

Tea?

Yes, love. Great.
That would be nice.

Do you want a waffle?

A waffle?

I bought a waffle maker
from the shopping channel.

I can't cook,
so, now your gran's gone,

I was hoping gadgets
might save me.

You see them on the telly,
magic things,

where you put the ingredients
in one end

and food comes out the other.

- It's a bread maker?
- Yes.

I made some of that yesterday.

It was very heavy.
Very... dense.

Like a malt loaf
married a breeze block.

[chuckling]
Is that a chocolate fountain?

Yes. [Chuckling]
That was a definite mistake.

You get very sick of that
after a few hours

of relentless Dairy Milk.

But the waffle maker
I've not tried.

Well, you'd have to make a
batter for the waffles, wouldn't you?

You see, they don't explain that to
you, the people who demonstrate...

That thin woman and the
bumptious fella with the fake tan.

I thought the batter
would come with it.

I can get you
some ready meals.

You just put them in the oven,
no need to cook.

That is cooking,
though, isn't it?

Not really, I mean...

oven on, food in, wait.

Oven off, eat.

Okay.

That sounds doable. Huh.

I really appreciate this, Ava.

I know you've been having
a bit of a time of it yourself.

It helps me to help you.

There's a lot of things
I can't fix.

But hopefully, I can
make things easier for you

for the time
that Granny's not here.

I don't think she's ever
coming back, love.

- And I don't blame her.
- She will.

I know it.
Just give her time.

[percussive music playing]

- Hiya.
- Oh, hello, love.

I'll get out your way.

No, stay there.

You're not in the way.

Well, I mean,
stay there if you want.

I'm not ordering you
to stay there. [Chuckles]

Right. Is pasta
okay for tonight?

Oh, don't mind me.
I can just have a sandwich.

It's no trouble, Jackie.

Or I can just have a
few crackers or something.

- A boiled egg.
- I'm making pasta anyway,

so it would actually be more trouble
for you to have something different.

Oh. Well, thanks, love.

That would be nice.

- It's just...
- Oh.

- Sorry.
- Oh.

Uh, I might
go for a stroll.

Blow the cobwebs away.

Yeah, good idea.

- I'll see you later, then.
- Yeah.

- Bye.
- JACKIE: Mm-hmm.

[door opens and closes]

Ugh. That is not fucking clean.
Fuck's sake.

You all right?
Was that Mum?

Yeah. Uhh!

She's just, uh,
gone for a walk.

She did that thing again
with her mug...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...where she rinses it under the tap

and then she puts it
with the clean stuff.

- [sighs]
- I've not noticed her do that.

Well, I have.
I have noticed it.

Well, she's trying
not to get in the way.

No. No, I... I know,
but how she does it means

that she is absolutely,
100% in the way.

Right. Well, shall I
ask her to leave then?

Don't be so melodramatic, Paul.
Fucking hell.

It would just be nice
to know what her plans are.

I don't think she's got any.

'Cause her world has just
fallen apart, Ally.

Yeah, but ours isn't
exactly glued together.

- Mm-hmm.
- Is it?

And having a mother-in-law
sharing a bedroom

with our depressed daughter
probably isn't helping things.

Mm-hmm.

- Pasta okay for tonight?
- Yeah, wicked.

[percussive music playing]

Are you cold, love?

AVA: I'm fine. I think.

I don't have the heating on
as much without Jackie here.

She feels the cold.

Heh. Likes the heating
to come on before we're awake.

I like that, too.

I'm the only who can
work out the timer, though.

It's very esoteric.

Jackie says if I die
before I explain it to her,

she'd freeze to death
and join me.

- [Jim chuckles]
- Yeah.

Have you had today's pills?

Yes.

Or have I?

Oh, I don't remember.

I think so.

Or do I?

I'll check the dispenser.

Oh, thanks, sweetheart.

I'll tell you something.

This is the worst Advent
calendar I've ever been given.

[Ava chuckles softly]

[soft piano music playing]

[chatter and laughter]

Can I get you gentlemen
anything else?

- Uh, no, we're good. Thanks.
- Enjoy.

- Thank you.
- JACOB: So, I ordered just sashimi.

- No rice, no seaweed... just raw fish.
- But it's so expensive.

I mean, what we've ordered
is madly expensive.

Oh, I got some birthday money
from my dad's girlfriend.

She feels guilty
about me leaving home,

so she gave me quite a lot.

Ready to try it?

Yeah.

Mmm.

- Oh, my God.
- Heaven, isn't it?

It's amazing.

I thought it was gonna be...

Well, I don't know what
I thought it was gonna be.

- [chuckles]
- But it's incredible.

It's belly rather than back.

Wow.

[chuckles softly] I'm so glad
we're friends again, Jacob.

Yeah, me too.
Best friends.

Mm. [Chuckles]
He called us "gentlemen."

- [chuckling] I know.
- "Gentlemen."

Never been called that.

[both laughing]

Sorry, I'm being
a real downer.

- No, you're not.
- I am a bit.

If this was 1968,
I'd be called "a drag"

and get accused
of spreading bad vibes.

You're not a drag, Darren.
You're groovy.

Thanks. I shouldn't be
complaining, really.

- Mm.
- I'm comfortable enough spending Mother's money.

But I'm doing nothing with my life,
and being redundant isn't a great feeling.

Tell me about it.
Everyone needs to feel useful.

- [doorbell rings]
- LUKE: I'll get it.

- Thanks, Luke!
- [sighs]

- I... I've not been prone to depression before now.
- Hmm.

I'm a very positive guy.

I just get so horribly lonely
in that big, empty house.

What, is... has Karen
got the twins?

No. But the nanny
keeps them out of my way.

- [approaching footsteps]
- Right.

That son of yours
is very handsome, Ally.

- Hello, Darren.
- Hiya.

You're very handsome, too.

Oh. Thank you.

Um, sorry. Your... the cake tins
are all in here with some other stuff.

Marvelous. We're having a big
party on Friday for Alex's 65th.

The "bus pass" one.
[chuckles]

- I've said I'd bake.
- Which is virtually unheard of.

I used to be quite good,
when I could be bothered.

But men like it, don't they?
Little woman in the kitchen,

- all that shit.
- Is Alex retiring?

Oh, no. He wants to keep
working... so he doesn't want to feel

like a directionless
spare prick.

Anyway, we've got a load
of people coming on Friday.

Alex has invited every waif, stray,
and mere acquaintance on Earth.

Actually, would you
like to come, Darren?

Oh, delighted.
I love a party.

LEAH: Splendid.

Can you give me a hand
with that box?

- Oh, one sec.
- Yes, of course.

- The final cake tin.
- Oh, Ally...

I invited
both Jackie and Jim.

I mean, I just didn't know
what to do after...

No, Mum.
No one really knows what to do.

[Leah sighs]
Anyway, thanks.

- Thank you, Darren.
- Yes, of course.

[harmonica music playing]

I'll be back.

[somber music playing]

JACKIE: You should talk
to her, your friend.

Go and see her.

AVA: Grace doesn't want
to see me.

But she means
so much to you, love.

You can't just let it go.

I know.

I can't really bear
not being her friend.

That's why I desperately wanted
to go to the same school as her...

why I deliberately
failed the exam.

'Cause I thought she'd fail.

And is that why
she won't talk to you?

She completely blanks me
if I see her.

It's like I... don't exist.

Have you talked to that lovely
vicar about it at your church?

I haven't been to church
for a week or so.

I'm angry at Jesus.

Oh... don't be angry
with Jesus, Ava.

He's Jesus.

I've been good, Granny.
I've...

I've sacrificed my future
for love, and...

love's supposed to be
everything, isn't it?

In the New Testament, yeah.

The Old is frogs
falling out of the sky

and being ordered
to stab your own kids.

But I've done
everything right.

And I'm miserable.

And my dad hates me,

and I feel like
everything's going wrong.

Why hasn't Jesus saved me?

Your dad doesn't
hate you, Ava.

He was just angry
about the exam.

Your dad loves you.

And... not presuming
to speak for him,

but I think Jesus does, too.

Thanks, Granny.

We should get some sleep.

Yeah. Night.

Night-night. [Clears throat]

How's Jim?

AVA: Okay... ish.

Missing you.

Right.

Sleep tight, love.

AVA: And you.

[distant sirens wailing]

PAUL: [over phone] So Ava
will come again tomorrow

to sort your pills out
and stuff.

And she'll be bringing
some ready meals, okay?

[chuckles] She told me
about the chocolate fountain.

- JIM: She's a lifesaver, that girl.
- Mm.

- I'm not sure what I'd do without her.
- It's Alex's party tonight.

- Do you reckon you might wanna go to that?
- Oh, I don't know.

- Your mum's invited, isn't she?
- Yeah, of course.

Well, I don't want to risk
bumping into her.

Okay, well, see how you
feel later, but I think it might be

a good place for you
to see each other again.

[sniffles] You know,
in a crowd.

Ah, maybe.

So what are you up to
at the minute?

Uh, this precise minute,
I'm waiting for Luke.

His band's auditioning singers.

Is he gonna be
a pop star then?

[chuckling] Pop star, yeah.
Uh, maybe.

He can use his millions
to keep you in your old age.

Well, that can start as soon
as he fuckin' likes, yeah.

[rock music playing] - MIA:

♪ Never know just how

♪ Statuette on the con so-ole

- Great.
- That was really good. Thanks, Mia.

- MIA: Thank you.
- Uh, we'll let you know

when we've had
a band discussion.

Okay. Cool.

- I think we found our singer.
- KAI: She's good.

Just one more to see.

I'll go get her.

- Great playing, Luke.
- LUKE: Really?

[chuckling]
I hope I'm improving.

PAUL: So, how you feeling
today, Dad?

Okay.

Yeah? Really?

Yeah. Not bad.

But don't you
worry about me, son.

You've got enough
on your plate.

Yeah, but I do worry,
though, Dad.

About you and Mum...
a-and me, frankly,

'cause this rock
has disappeared.

I had this certainty
in my life: You two together.

Which is suddenly gone.

And that feels weird.

I know.
It's all gone skew-whiff.

But there'll be a way out.

A way through, you mean.

Yes, a way through.
There's always a way through.

You obviously

We would really like you
in the band, Ruby.

- If you want to be.
- I'd love to be.

- Then you are.
- Great!

[Luke and Ruby chattering
indistinctly]

RUBY: Great.
So when's the next rehearsal?

- We start Monday. Next week.
- Okay.

- See you then.
- Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Hi, mate.

You all right, Luke?

Fuckin' dumbstruck.

- Hello.
- Hello. Oi.

Was that Ruby?

Yeah, she's going to
be on our new singer.

Hey! That's great news.
She good then?

- Oh, my God, Dad, she's amazing.
- Ah.

She has the most
incredible voice.

That's brilliant.
I'm pleased for you.

- [seat belts latching]
- Fuck.

Sorry, I...
I just had a thought.

Jacob's gonna hate this.
He'll hate me.

I've just gotten carried away.
I didn't think.

Jacob needs to grow up, mate.

I mean, I know he acts
like he's 45 anyway,

but emotionally,
he's gotta grow up.

He can't control who else
you're friends with, Luke.

You've gotta talk it through with
Jacob, get it straight between you.

- I just won't tell him.
- Or that.

That's another option, yeah.

[atmospheric jazz music playing]

[chatter and upbeat music
playing]

Oh, yes, darling.
Have this, right.

DARREN: Thanks again for the lift.
Difficult to walk into a party on your own.

- You wouldn't think it, but I'm actually very, very shy.
- No, I wouldn't think it.

Don't worry, Darren. You
can always stick with us until...

- Hi. Darren.
- ALLY: Oh, wow.

Couldn't help noticing you've got a
scarf on indoors... well done that, man.

- I've got a sore throat.
- No, no, no. No explanation necessary.

That is a legitimate
fashion statement.

- Uh, Merino wool?
- Cashmere.

- Ha! Checkmate. Oh.
- [man chuckling]

Bit of fizz. Love it.
So, what do you do?

- For a living. Not everything you do.
- MAN: Oh, well...

- Where's the champagne?
- Um, why don't you go that way,

- I'll go this way, and... yeah.
- Like Scooby-Doo. [Chuckles]

- GABBY: Hello, stranger.
- Hey! Ha ha!

You know, I wasn't sure
if you'd be here tonight.

Oh, right.

So you didn't think
Alex would invite me?

No, no. I... no.

- I'm just saying...
- I'm toying with you.

- Like a cat. [Laughing]
- [chuckles] Thanks.

I mean, I'm...
I'm the cat.

I mean, if I were toying
with a cat, I'd need to be,

- well, I don't know, a pit bull or something.
- Right, yeah.

Which would be... weird.

So, how are you? You
are looking... really well.

Fine. Good.
Fine and... good.

- PAUL: Great.
- And you... are you fine and good?

Yeah. Yeah, well,
maybe not completely...

fine and good, but, um...

Yeah. But better
for seeing you.

So, are things
all improved with your son?

- Yes, yes. Yeah.
- Mm.

- Uh... yeah. Things are a lot better.
- Yeah.

Thank you, we're in a much healthier
place. Thank you for remembering.

- Good.
- Thanks. Ah, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

ALEX: Oh, that's a shame.

They were scared of
bumping into each other,

so neither of them
are gonna come tonight.

LEAH: 50 years married...
Just goes to show,

you can't take anything
for granted.

- ALLY: Mm.
- [Gabby laughing loudly]

- Who's that?
- That's Gabby,

- our lovely neighbor.
- [Gabby laughing]

She and Paul really hit it off
when he stayed at mine.

These cheese scones
that your mother made.

They're... really
out of this world, Ally.

- "Hit it off"?
- Just as friends. Nothing inappropriate.

- Yeah, of course.
- LEAH: I thought Paul would have mentioned it.

I mean, they just
went to the cinema.

I think it's the mustard
powder that, uh...

gives it a...
A real kick.

No, actually, no, he... I think he
probably did mention going to the cinema,

now that...
Now that I think of it.

It was just
a very hectic time.

[whispers] See you.

LEAH: What?

LEAH: That's the last time
I make fucking scones.

[haunting music playing on TV]

MAN: [on TV] So we have
a white female. She's...

This fella here was in that...

And she matches the description
of the woman that has gone missing.

JACKIE: Oh, I know that actor.

[sighs] Can't think
what from, though.

Ah, Jim would know.

[man on TV
continues indistinctly]

- PAUL: I even looked him up online.
- No, you did not.

Oh, yes, I did.
Three different sites.

I kid you not. And I'm still
none the fuckin' wiser.

- Hi!
- Hi. Hey. Thank you.

- GABBY: Hi.
- How lovely.

- Sorry, would you...
- No, no, I'm fine. Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm... I'm Ally.

Sorry. Ally, Gabby.
Gabby, Ally.

So, do you... do you two
know each other, or you just...

No, no, w-we met when I was
staying at your mum's, when Luke was...

- Yeah, no, I remember that.
- Yeah, his thing, you know, yah.

Yeah, our recycling cycles,
uh, went in sync,

so we used to see each other
by the bins. [Laughs]

- ALLY: Right.
- PAUL: Yeah. Bin buddies, yeah.

- Bin buddies.
- Bin buddies. Wow.

[Gabby chuckles]

Wow. There are so many
interesting people here.

I mean, I've already been asked
to join a community choir,

and I haven't sung
since college.

- I was a tenor, would you believe?
- [Gabby laughs]

New face. Hello.
I'm Darren.

- Gabby.
- Great name.

Well done. Heh.

How's the shyness
going, Darren?

Oh, doesn't last very long.

I've been burying all my
feelings since prep school.

Very handy training.
Brutal, but, uh...

Does the business.
[chuckles]

You don't have a drink.
Um, there's the lady...

Woman, sorry...
With the champagne.

- Let's go and mug her.
- PAUL: Um...

- DARREN: Watch your step.
- GABBY: Yeah.

- [sighs] Ah, man.
- Having fun?

Yeah. Yeah, it's all right,
innit? Thanks, yeah.

She's cool, actually.
She's good.

[somber music playing]

PAUL: Hey.
Want a cup of tea?

- Uh, no. I'm fine.
- Not herbal?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

[Ally inhales and sighs]

Gabby seemed nice.

Uh, yeah. She is.
She is nice, yes.

Mum said that you and Gabby
went to the cinema together.

Yeah. Uh, actually,
we bumped into each other,

and then...
after lunch...

Oh, you went to lunch
with her?

No. No.
I mean, not with her.

I was with her, but we
weren't with each other.

I see. Right, yeah.
And was it...

- Was it just the one lunch?
- Yeah. No. Sorry, no.

Uh, I did go to another lunch
with her at her place.

- Her sister was there.
- And was her sister at the other lunch or...

- at the cinema?
- No. Come...

Ally, you're making this out
to be like some weird...

thing or an affair
or something. We just...

No, we just got on,
you know, as... as mates.

We had a lunch.
Couple of lunches.

And saw a film, one film.
And the adverts.

- Can you hear yourself?
- What do you mean?

This is precisely
what your dad did.

[laughing]

- ALLY: It is.
- No, it's... Don't be daft!

And that is exactly what he
said to you. The very, very words.

- This is totally different.
- Why didn't you tell me about it?

Because I just, I...

I didn't think
it was important.

What, you going on a date with
another woman isn't important?

- It wasn't a date.
- Really?

No. Well, it...
We just... We just...

[approaching footsteps]

Sorry to disturb.

Just wanted to get me book
for the morning.

ALLY: Did you
have a nice night?

Oh, quiet, heh.

- Nice party?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Do you want tea, Mum?

Uh, no, I'm fine.
Thanks, love.

Just needed me book.

I'm waking up very early,

and reading's better
than thinking.

- [Jackie chuckles]
- ALLY: Hmm.

- Night.
- Night, Jackie.

Night, Mum.

- JACKIE: Night.
- Love you.

Right. I'm gonna get to bed.

Really? You don't wanna
talk about this?

- You should call your dad.
- Well, it's a bit late now.

- I'll call him in the morning.
- Okay.

[mutters] Okay...

That's mental. It's...

WOMAN: [on TV] You've heard
about air frying...

JIM: Fuck off with
your fuckin' air fryer!

You don't fool me!

You can't fry food with air,
you pricks.

The details are coming up
on your screen right now.

[woman continues indistinctly]

[Jim groans]

Uh, so remember,
of course, a big brand.

[grunts] - Amazing

You've got flexible payment
options on this as well.

Indeed, you've got four
flexi-pays and just one 99.

£18.75 to be able
to get this home.

Great cooking,
