Listen for: Theo's uncertainty about whether she really knows Tom, and the growing tension between them as his work and family pull him away.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
