*Second episode*

With Arthur having cut his hand on a saw, Ashley has taken him to hospital. But the vicar, who has dementia, is finding the whole episode super stressful and after heading into the confusing corridors to hunt for help, he’s forgotten about his little boy and why he is there. So when Ashley then bumps into his wife Laurel who’s arrived for a pregnancy scan, he assumes that’s why he’s at the hospital and gets involved in the appointment leaving his little boy sat alone.

When the couple arrive home after an encouraging scan, their excitement is shattered when they realise Arthur is missing. When a policeman later turns up with the little lad, Laurel pales as she learns a social worker will be coming to visit, to assess whether Ashley is still capable of looking after their son unsupervised.
