Okay, so before we move on to shares,

just want to remind you, we are still

looking for a treasurer.

Everyone seems happy for me

to continue as chair.

Not that I could ever replace Karen.

CHUCKLES

And these are competitive positions,

you know, essential criteria being drink problem,

dysfunctional family of origin...

LAUGHTER

...narcissistic mother.

FURTHER LAUGHTER

Only messing.

Narcissistic mother's not essential.

Mine's just a bonus.

Oh, sorry.

No, come in. We've just started.

Oh, okay.

There's loads of room.

Right. Excuse me. Sorry for interrupting.

The important thing is to be here.

Right.

No? Shares.

Let's open the floor for shares. LAUGHS

UPBEAT MUSIC

I've been through quite a big life change recently.

We sold our family home.

I've moved to a different part of the city.

SOFT MUSIC

I'm divorced...

after nearly 40 years.

Here you go, Valerie.

Matcha latte. Thanks, Tom. Looks delicious.

BERNIE: Obviously, that's been hard on both of us.

So, um, are you, are you getting any more bagels in?

For you Valerie, we'll get some in tomorrow.

BERNIE: But we're coping.

The kids are all grown up now,

so, the divorce didn't affect them at all.

WOMAN: Yeah? Anthony Sheridan.

I have a 10 o'clock therapy session.

BUZZING

BERNIE: My second daughter is about to pop.

GRUNTING

Is it in yet?

BERNIE: She's a doctor.

Are you sure this is safe?

Yes. It can help induce labour.

I'm afraid I'm gonna hit its head or something.

For God's sake, Rory! Will you just ride me?!

I need this baby out!

BERNIE: I'm looking forward to having a grandchild.

Still, it makes you think I'm not the woman I was any more.

I'll never be that woman again.

So...

who am I?

I suppose that's why I'm here.

Well, I don't think you can go wrong with the leopard.

It's bold, it's dramatic. It makes a statement.

And it ties in with the crushed velvet floral cushions

you were looking at earlier, so...

I'd say there's a real identity there.

Yeah? Mm.

Okay.

SHIV: See you next week. WOMAN: Okay.

Take care.

DARYL CLEARS THROAT

That was a great meeting.

Oh, thanks.

I was here last week too.

Yeah. Yeah. I thought I recognised you.

Yeah, well I, I sat up the back.

I'm... kind of new to all this.

Thought it was a total cult when I first started.

LAUGHTER DARYL: Right.

So, you're from Australia?

Yes. Yeah. I'm...

Shiv, quick word?

Sure.

Oh, um, yeah, I might just, um...

Shiv, what are you doing?

Helping the newcomer.

You know those female teachers you see on the news

who've slept with 15-year-old school boys

'cause they said they were hot,

and the teachers forgot they were adults?

And then they get called sexual predators

and sent off to jail.

That's basically you.

Excuse me? You're the chair.

You can't be flirting with vulnerable people.

We're a safe space, not a junkie pick-up joint.

Right. Firstly, who says I'm flirting?

Secondly, don't call people in recovery junkies.

I included you and me in that.

Thirdly, you're not my sponsor any more.

After the last few months and now a divorce,

I've no business sponsoring people.

Was just offering some friendly advice.

Well, I'm fine, thanks.

Seriously.

You home for dinner tonight?

Got a pork chop.

You know, you don't have to cook for me

just 'cause we're living together.

Mm. Force of habit. CHUCKLES

15 years married to a bald patch

who never set foot in a kitchen.

I'll get used to it.

I could cook. No. You're grand.

Great. Bye. See you at home.

UPBEAT MUSIC

Who, Karen? No.

Once you get to know her, she's just terrifying.

Hey, um...

I could probably use a little bit of guidance with all this.

Oh, okay. Yeah. I could introduce you to Mickey.

He's really... Could I grab your number?

Yeah, sure. Yeah?

Oh?

Yeah. How're you settling in?

Grand, yeah.

It's great to be near town.

Ah.

Just got a few things for the house.

Trying to make it more homey.

Yeah. Are you still sure about renting?

Hmm? Mm.

Yeah, I'm not ready to buy yet.

Yeah, it's just the money's sitting in your account...

it wouldn't be hard to burn through that.

Yeah, well, it's not your problem any more, Tom.

You don't have to worry. KEYS JANGLE

MUSIC FADES TO SILENCE

JAKE: Well, I guess I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut.

What kind of rut?

Well, my career's going nowhere.

I don't really have a place to live

since my parents split.

I can't afford to rent,

and I can't afford to buy, so, I can't afford to quit.

I feel anxious...

all the time,

and it's difficult to sleep.

And I haven't had sex in five months.

You haven't had sex in five months?

Do you think I'm depressed?

Probably...

if my brother's the last person

you had sex with. LAUGHS

Oh, well, no, it wasn't.

It was actually, uh...

doesn't matter.

I just feel like I should be better, you know?

Like, better at life.

Rory, are you still able to come

to the garden centre with me today?

Oh, I, I don't know if I should

just with Caroline being so close.

Oh no, go. Uh, both of you should go.

But you'll be on your own. Yeah, I'll manage.

The baby could come any time now.

Well, a spoiler alert, it's not going to look like you.

Mum!

What?

I'm only joking.

If I had a problem with her being pregnant

with another man's child,

would I have welcomed her into my home?

No.

Oh, is this because of that

Swedish lady who's coming?

Oh, they're mad for feminism in Sweden.

Sandrine Horvst is Danish,

and a leading artist in her field.

And no, I've always given women a leg up.

Look at Shiv. Came in a lowly secretary

with no qualifications.

Well, a degree in fine art.

Now she's co-ordinating

our new International Artist in Residence program.

Yeah. Listen, Dearbhla, thanks.

This is massive and I really appreciate it.

You're still at reception on Fridays.

Okay. Right.

We need a press release

saying we've an exciting new residency,

and something about women.

I think you're going to learn a lot from Sandrine.

She's a serious artist.

Put on your vulva.

Is it not unethical for your ex's sister

to be your therapist?

I don't think so.

I'm hoping she'll give me some tea.

Why don't he just stalk his Instagram

He deleted it. SPLASHING

Shall we call Rory? No. God.

This is the first bit of peace I've had in weeks.

Good, yeah. I think.

She's in Berlin now with Kristen.

It was better for our stability.

I know some people felt I didn't deserve her anyway, so.

Well, I didn't go to Australia.
