S1 • E2

The Special Bowl

Dinner-time at the Brockmans is a noisy affair, as Ben's friend Deion joins them and proves to be another liar - with his stories of a drunken father who puts rats in his bed, and a mother in jail for attempted murder. Ben doesn't help by wrapping him in toilet paper to make him into an Egyptian mummy, and blaming him for hiding his meal under a cushion. Karen refuses to eat as she has not been given her usual bowl - in fact it is a replacement for one Sue broke, and hoped Karen wouldn't notice. A remark from Jake forces Pete to admit that a joke he made about a Muslim boy's eating habits has had him reported as a racist. After Deion has left, trick or treaters turn up - but are sent away as it is only September. Sue's unmarried sister Angela also arrives, back from America and intending to look after their widowed father.
