"Chicago" is an episode‑type programme that centres on a short, self‑contained story set in the American Midwest. It is listed simply as a programme with the title "Chicago", and its format is that of a single episode rather than a series or a film. The piece is presented without any additional contextual information such as a director or year of production, focusing purely on the narrative it delivers. The narrative follows Jess and the group of boys as they journey to Nick’s hometown of Chicago after a recent family tragedy. Their arrival is marked by a sombre atmosphere, as they are drawn into the local community’s response to the loss. Central to the plot is the barman, whose own family members—described as eccentric—press him to assume responsibility for organising the funeral arrangements. This insistence creates a tension between personal grief and the expectations placed upon him by his relatives. The episode’s setting in Chicago provides a backdrop that underscores the characters’ emotional journey, while the barman’s relatives add a layer of quirky familial pressure. Their insistence that he take charge of the funeral duties highlights the interplay between duty and personal coping mechanisms. Throughout, the story remains confined to these core elements, offering a concise look at how a small group navigates loss amid the expectations of an unconventional family.
