Being April - Season 1 Episode 3 Normal
April's eldest, Jake, wants the family to be 'normal' so she tries her best by inviting the posh parents of Jake's girlfiend Martha over for afternoon tea. She also asks Callum to move in with her and the children. Callum's very ‘house-trained', but the intimacy stops when he moves in. After trying to be every possible kind of woman he may want - from sophisticated to outright slutty - April discovers that the real problem is that Callum's inhibited by the children being in the house. He has to move out. Afternoon tea is a disaster and later seeing the Easton-Ellis' at Jake's school concert doesn't help. April over hears them speaking abbout how awful her and her family are. With all the family there, including Callum, and Jake's proud of his mother when she retaliates. Callum and April try again, but she realises that he wants a family, not a girlfriend, while all she wants is a man who's going to love her for herself.
