It's Ashley's birthday. She and Gordon go to her mum Lynelle for a dinner party. Gordon meets Professor Lee. Ashley's sexually creepy stepfather.
Although Lynelle tells Gordon she is proud of her daughter. It is something she never mentions to Ashley.
Instead she cannot help be negative towards Ashley or bring up embarrassing episodes from her past. The party is entirely for the benefit to upset Ashley.
While Lee never hides his inappropriate behaviour towards Ashley. I wonder if Lynelle ever noticed it.
This is an episode that brings Ashley and Gordon closer. Maybe they were meant to be soulmates.
Hats off to Darren Gilshenan as the weird Professor Lee. All those Ugandan babies they support in Africa, they were all girls.
