Locations: Lee's Car, Kate/Lee's Flat, Pub, acupuncture office,
Storylines:
- Lee is teaching Kate to drive. She is struggling and when reverse parking crashes the car into a parked car.
- Lee is still angry and kate tells him he needs to be more calm as he is very stressed. It is also revealed that kate hit a guide dog. Kate suggests yoga to help lee relax or acupuncture.
- At the pub lee finds an article in nuts that tries to help relieve stress. Tim ask a series of questions from the article to determine if Lee is stressed.
- There are more jokes about tim's younger ex girlfriend.
- At the flat kate does yoga with lee. He takes a few short cuts. When meditating he gets a little anxious when kate tells him to imagine a candle as he thinks about wax dropping onto the floor. he goes on a rant kate books him and acupuncture appointment.
- Kate learns to drive with tim, he think he can use it to win her back. she reverses the car into a wall as tim continues to bring up the relationship.
- lee is adamant that acupuncture is a sham and argues with the therapist.
- Tim encourages kate to park the car in a small space, the opposite of what lee did earlier in the episode. She is pleased with his encouragement and parks perfectly.
- at the pub, tim says he is pleased with how kate's lessons with him are going. Tim asks why lee is bothered that he is getting on so well with kate but lee says it is more that everyone keeps calling him stressed. Lee tells tim that his doctors has given him tranquillisers but tim tells them they are dangerous. When tim asks if he has tried everything lee mentions kate said she could try massage on him, tim encourages him to take the drugs after all. Lee does but with a small about of beer.
- at the flat, lee is very spaced out and kate is very concerned. Lee asks kate to go to tai chi with him on friday, she agrees and he says its a date. But then he takes it back awkwardly.
- Lee and tim both take kate on a driving lesson. Tim tells her to watch her speed but lee says she is doing fine - he is still a little spaced out from the drugs. She says she isn't going that fast because the dial is nowhere near the f - tim says this is the petrol. Tim also asks if they should put on the central locking after lee has a lie down. tim tries to ask kate out for friday but she has already made plans with lee. Tim rants and says that she will be end up sleeping with lee but lee mishears this as tim will sleep with lee. Kate discovers lee took tablets to be relaxed as she thought he was relaxed from yoga. This stresses her out and causing her to drive faster. Tim again rants about kate blames him to everything and the two argue. Lee tries to get kate to slow down. They crash.
- Lee has a neck brace on. Kate reveals she passed her test.
This episode again seems to repeat the same stories so if I'm honest is a little boring. The joke are good but as there is no new characters to mix up the dynamic it seems a little stale and it is only 4 episodes in. I think this is a good lesson because as much as the audience will want lee and kate to get together and for it to be organic the build up can be a little dull if each of the development episodes are the same. There needs to be obstacles to their relationship and so far the only one is tim and it is just a constant cycle.
Stay safe,
Helen
