My Family

Ben and Susan plan a weekend away from everyone else, hoping for quality time together. When it starts, Ben prefers to take it easy, spending his days idly, while Susan is eager to shop and fill the time with activity. Their contrasting approaches quickly become apparent, and they realise they share very little in the way of interests or habits. The weekend, meant as a chance to bond, instead highlights how little they have in common, leaving both aware of the mismatch between their expectations and reality. Both had imagined the retreat would bring them closer, yet Ben’s relaxation and Susan’s shopping drive kept them apart.

Ben had hoped for a straightforward, low‑key birthday, but his wish is interpreted far more literally than he imagined, leaving him feeling let down. The simple celebration he envisioned is turned into something he finds unnecessarily elaborate, and his frustration grows as the day unfolds. Meanwhile, Janey drops off, and her unexpected presence proves to be a real eye‑opener for Ben. Her visit forces him to confront his assumptions and offers a fresh perspective that he hadn’t considered. By the end of the episode, the contrast between his original plan and what actually transpires highlights how quickly well‑intended ideas can be misread.

Michael and Abi gradually come to the unsettling realisation that the house they have entered is cursed, its oppressive atmosphere hinting at a malevolent force that has long plagued the property. Their discovery shakes them both, as they confront the eerie evidence that suggests the dwelling is not merely old but truly haunted. Meanwhile, Susan views the strange circumstances as a perfect opening to settle an old score. She decides to act on the chance to exact revenge on the very first man who ever stood her up, hoping that the chaotic situation will finally allow her to confront the lingering grievance.

Typically, Ben finds himself haunted by unsettling visions, but this time the narrative flips: his aspirations seem to be materialising. The shift becomes evident when the family receives unexpected news, signalling a departure from the familiar routine that has long defined their household dynamics.

Nick steps forward and declares his intention to vacate the family home, a decision that marks a tangible realisation of Ben's more hopeful expectations. This announcement transforms what might have been another distressing episode into a moment where Ben's brighter outlook finally appears to take hold. Such a development reshapes the family's daily rhythm, hinting at newfound independence for all involved.

The Harper family are on the brink of welcoming their first grandchild, a milestone that shouldn't just bring joy but instead leaves Susan uneasy about the prospect of becoming a grandmother.

Susan and Ben mull over the idea of signing up for dance lessons, only to discover that mastering the steps isn’t as simple as just the two of them – it needs a larger group or more commitment than they first imagined.
