Episode 11 brings Helen back in conversation with one of her old college friends, Essie, who lives in Texas with her partner BethAnn and Honey the dog. Helen has not  been quite her usual cheerful self of late, and Essie has picked up on it. But Essie is the one who's really struggling.  Is there such a thing as 'post pandemic blues' that hits us, even though the pandemic isn't actually over yet?

Episode 9 introduces Jack's Uncle James, retired school teacher.  Helen phones Susie, who is visiting Jack in Liverpool, but as is her wont, Susie has gone out without her phone. The result is Helen and Uncle James getting to know each other, sharing thoughts about the educational system and the  impending demise of the English vocabulary. Is it possible this is just an 'old people' problem?

Helen and Jennifer from across the corridor have a catchup, and Nana Madeleine invites herself in for a coffee and a 'serious' chat.

Episode 7 (Season 2) sees Helen and her granddaughter Susie about to take a trip to Lancashire to celebrate a birthday party.  Helen likes to hand over the receipt to the recipient when she buys a gift, and Susie is not too sure that this is acceptable behaviour.  Does this qualify as role reversal?  Then a phone call from a stranger brings new complications.
