Tim reveals it was lee's idea for the dog to stay with them.
- Kate and lee play fifa while the dog sleeps on their laps. Lee's allergies are quite bad. Kate says a joke that lee told nicky earlier. She tells it wrong as she didn't understand it.
i feel this episode didn't really add to the story arch of the series as nothing developed really. At a push lee did make some nice gestures but they were for the child and not directly for kate although she was impressed.
Stay safe,
