Episode 3 - Head Space
Em is trying to get excited about her favourite night of the year – Si’s annual pub quiz, as Rosie distracts her by constantly making her draw a copy of a new picture they’ve hung up, Yves Tanguy’s The Invisibles. As the quiz draws closer, Gandalf has a fall and can’t babysit, leaving Em with no choice but to take Rosie along. A combination of being physically forced to repeatedly draw The Invisibles and unwanted attention from an interfering do-gooder threatens to drive Em totally insane.
In the early timeline, set in 2008, Em and Si start to function as a family again. Em goes back to work, putting Rosie into a nursery. But this new found normality is shattered when Rosie has a seizure in the middle of the night and is rushed to hospital, leaving Em to despair about what new medical nightmares await them all.
