This has so terrified John that he has opted not to go back to his house but instead stay at a Bed and Breakfast. Brendan Coyle is completely believable as this man who has seen a ghost. He is shaken to his core. Rory Keenan actively listens with a repetitive "I know", his way of reassuring the client and mirroring the number of times John says, "You know." In this first scene we learn only about John's issues and Ian's professional side.

One day I’ll be a butterfly, if I don’t get stamped on first.” They meet, they fall in love, they hear the Fuehrer’s call to populate the world with Aryan babies, and they set to work to do his bidding.

As they start to empty out her wardrobes to sort the clothing into charity shop, or send to Africa, or throw away, the sisters start to laugh together. Teresa seems unaware of the inconsistencies of sending ball gowns to Zimbabwe. They each choose an evening dress and giggle away at the effect, dressing up like children.
