Zara moans when she gets a call from one of the mothers at Joe’s school inviting her out for a ‘getting-to-know-you’ session. Emma overhears and thinks Zara’s criticism is a little harsh. Emma sees Zara in the staff room and tries to ask her about the other parents at Joe’s school, but the two women end up bickering.
