The Disappearance

Episode 2 of 6

Phil has disappeared. While Edith searches for him, her difficult sister Joan invites herself to stay and Roger fills the house with unexpected guests.

Phil鈥檚 house has been withdrawn from the market by his estate agent, who thinks he鈥檚 a nutter, and he hasn鈥檛 turned up for his regular morning meeting with Edith. As she and Sandra hurry to Phil鈥檚 house, Edith receives a phone call from her sister Joan inviting herself to stay.

Meanwhile, Roger is visiting Bob in hospital. He tells Bob that he has thought of a new way to make money and has let his mother鈥檚 spare room, online, to two Americans. Bob鈥檚 estranged goth daughter Georgie arrives from Glasgow to see how he is, and Roger takes a shine to her. As she has nowhere to stay, he offers her his room. Then, as he is making up the sofa for himself in the sitting room, Joan arrives demanding the spare room. Edith returns home to find her house full of unexpected guests and her demanding sister.
