The sisters are sorting out their mother’s books and speculating about their parents’ love life. Maureen suggests the sisters should buy a house in France and spend their last years together, tending the vines.

Then David turns up and interrupts the dream.

He tells Maureen that her careless parking has boxed in her neighbour and, when she goes outside to move her car, she discovers that her battery’s flat. David rescues her with his jump leads and then advises her to drive around for a bit to recharge the battery - giving him time alone with Lesley.

How best to fill the time? A séance.
