Friday Night Dinner

Jackie's plans to watch the Masterchef finale are thwarted by an unwelcome houseguest and an ill-timed pickup of the family's old sofa.

Adam and Johnny find Martin acting even stranger than usual when they arrive for dinner. Adam's song is on the radio, but Martin's odd behavior distracts everyone. Finally, Jackie confronts Martin while the boys' prank texts go a bit overboard.

The boys bring Grandma home for dinner but Grandma gets her hair stuck in the window of Jonny's car. When they eventually arrive, Mum shows the family the new curtains. An argument follows about whether the new curtains are actually yellow rather than cream. Meanwhile, Dad drops Mum's beef casserole all over the kitchen floor

When Mum finds out that Dad didn't throw away his old boxes of science magazines in their clear-out, she goes mad. So Dad builds a bonfire and promises he'll burn them all. But secretly Dad is only pretending to burn them in the bonfire, instead squirreling the boxes off to his shed in the garden.

It's Adam's birthday. As he arrives home, a silver Mercedes almost runs him over. Inside, is Sheila Bloom who is famously obsessed with her Mercedes, and after some catty remarks about Adam's car, she speeds off. This leads Dad to make a surprising confession before he tries to cook dinner for the first time ever.

Adam comes home to find the house looking immaculate, with classical music playing in the living room, Mum's posh bowls on the dinner table, Dad in a smart suit, and most mysteriously - five sets of knives and forks laid out. Something major is up. What is Mum up to?
