Snowed-In with Stepmom

On screen

A large house belonging to his girlfriend's father, with wine on the table and a living room used for workouts, becomes Theo's home for days. Snow has closed the roads and the trains until Tuesday. His girlfriend's stepmother, Amber, catches him staring on arrival and tells him to knock next time. His girlfriend gives a tour of the backyard, pointing at an old trampoline next door. Theo wants to be a polite guest; Amber has noticed him.

How bold it gets

Staring, a camera left running and an open invitation in the second episode. Frank in what is said, with the encounter mostly implied rather than shown.

Still open after episode 2

What happens when the girlfriend returns with whoever she went to find, and how the snowbound week plays out, is still unresolved.

Names you will hear: Amber Murphy and Theo.
