Elsewhere, Peter’s daughter, Lily (Millie Brady) is serving up plates of raw chicken and outing her dad’s affair with Madeleine (Sidse Babett Knudsen) to her mum and sister. A revelation which, in turn, prompts a weary Peter to announce that he might have a third daughter, actually.

At first, Helen (Saskia Reeves) seems almost as disinterested in this news as Susan (Ophelia Lovibond) does. Once her big choir concert is out the way, though, she rounds on Peter. She’s not so bothered about the affairs, it seems: it’s the possibility others will learn about his secret love child and start pitying her for it.

“I’d prefer to be ignored,” she snaps.

All Peter wants to know, though, is whether or not his wife will continue lying on his behalf (she testified that he was in New York when he was actually being super-shady in Washington, after all).

Cue Helen throwing him out of the Hastings family home (hurrah!) and him dashing off to be with Madeleine, who is less than pleased to find him waiting for her in her flat.
