At her weekly grief counselling sessions, Ruth doesn’t exactly hold back, telling Chi she is indeed simple and not to bother seeking adult education. Chi sets out to prove her wrong and breaks into Ramsgate College in search of an education.

Her dysfunctional family navigate the fallout of yet another unexpected bereavement, with mixed results. Chi turns to her list of ‘things you should have done’ in this time of need and opts to do ‘get therapy’, something her parents always knew she’d need to do anyway.

Ruth manhandles Chi’s list and vows to help her get over her grief and move on from being able to see her dead parents.

    S2:E2

    Karen has not only left the family in emotional turmoil but also serious debt. There’s no way Dave can keep up with the mortgage on his single wage, and he faces the very real threat of having to move in with Chi. Out of answers, the family seek advice from grief counsellor Ruth, who advises them to think outside the box and be entrepreneurial. Chi’s not entirely sure what this means, but she needs money. Dave reveals he has a very rich estranged sister, Claudia, whom he hasn’t spoken to since Brexit. It’s risky reaching out to her - she’s a bit of a snob - but if he plays his cards right, he thinks she may well clear his debts.
