Episode 5 - It's a family affair
What if you do find "the one"? Many people can't wait to start a family once they settle down. Ngozi hasn't decided if she wants children, so she is fascinated to talk to Laurence and Nicola about their experiences raising children as disabled people. Why is there very little portrayal of disabled people as wives, husbands, mums and dads? Does this affect your mindset as you start to date?

Episode 2 - Into the world of Devotees
A few years ago, Ngozi dated a man who self-identified as a "Devotee" (a non-disabled person specifically physically attracted to partners with disabilities). She didn't know what this was at the time, and he was a great guy, but is there a darker side to people who see the disability and not the person? Ngozi considers whether she would try to find a date through that scene again.
