Mildred hires a young unemployed veteran, Duncan Shaw, to do odd jobs around the house, and their relationship grows quickly. Ed is tense and irritable, and their marriage strains as Mildred begins to doubt her husband.

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.
