Laura and Will have been married for twenty years and she's started to wonder if this is really it. Will on the other hand is absolutely devoted. The fact that they do nothing but argue is a good thing after all it shows such a fantastic level of communication. Laura sacrificed her career for her two older children, Martin and Jackie, so the arrival of Oliver came as something of a surprise.
Oliver's decided his parents are mad. How can they simply pretend nothing's happened? They might be smiling now but he can't believe this one's going to have a happy ending. Upset about his parents, Ollie's in trouble at school once again, and when he's been dumped with a reluctant Martin, Will and Laura attempt to sort out their problems once and for all.
Laura and Will are severely rattled by Ollie's essay, although Will can't help but be impressed by his son's imagination! What they don't want is for Ollie to know how worried they are and so as far as he's concerned, Laura and Will just thought that his latest attempt at devilry was funny. Time to ramp up the eating disorder.
