Picking up Rosie from school, Si is told that the staff have noticed some bruising on her sides and legs which can only have happened over the weekend.

Si becomes increasingly paranoid, especially when a horribly formal letter tells them social services will be making an imminent visit. Convinced that an investigation will spread to all aspects of their parenting, Si and Em nervously await the arrival of the social worker.
