This episode is the pits frankly.It's not just that they're focusing on two of the lesser story lines because all the important characters have run out of episodes this week.It's that both story lines are being handled really badly.After the slow build up of Rachel's post-natal depression, it seems to be completely over and she's back at work, happy as Larry.Worse, they seem to be trying to show Tony having an equally bad time looking after Harry which undermines the storyline still further by showing that, actually, you don't need to have whatever medical condition is trendy at the moment in order to find parenthood difficult.The plot devices that are needed to make this happen are ridiculously contrived and the whole thing just stinks.
And then we have Annie and Romeo, a potentially great pairing that over the past two weeks have been completely and utterly ruined.Romeo just comes across as a selfish jerk and Annie as a prima donna who throws a tantrum when she isn't getting enough attention.And unfortunately Jai isn't a lot better, sulking instead of actually dealing with the problem.We do at least get to see Miles and Kirsty trying to sort things out but unfortunately they don't get very far and just come across as ineffectual.
