You're literally sharing a bed
with a man you've never met.

What side of the bed does she sleep on?

The contract says strictly no crossover,

so he has it : a.m. to : p.m.

and I have it : p.m. to : a.m.

Justin has a new girlfriend.

This even legal?

Bad news, little bro.
My appeal was denied.

I don't know what you did, but...

Armed robbery and I didn't do it.

That's the whole point.

Sex, dr*gs, and armed robbery.

hard evidence against you,

how were you found guilty?

Well, CCTV footage shows
a Black man in a hoodie.

Shopkeeper identifies me,

even though the gunman
was wearing a mask.

And the bouncers give a statement.

And you didn't have any
previous convictions?

Nah.

You weren't involved in any gangs?

Gangs? I'm a landscape gardener.

- Sorry, I didn't mean...
- Don't be sorry.

Any publicity is good publicity.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

So can we tell Leon about this now?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Trust me, I know my brother.

He's a private guy.
He don't like the fuss.

Okay, well, I don't like lying to him.

Yeah.

Not now he's told me he's
appealing your appeal.

You can't appeal an appeal.

[BUZZER BLARES]

What's he like?

[SPUTTERS] Good heart.

- Stubborn as f*ck.
- [CHUCKLES]

Doesn't like change.

He never makes the first move.

You know,

my little brother has never
asked a girl out before.

- He's that shy.
- Well, I don't blame him.

After this week, I'm never
asking anyone out ever again.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Lower.

Now too low.

That better, Mr. Prior?

Get out of the way!

Glad to see you're back to normal.

Holly, you're meant to be in bed.

But I can't sleep.

And it's so boring in
the children's unit.

What am I going to
tell your mom and dad?

Please, can I just stay
here for a little bit?

Please?

Fine.

Ten minutes and then it's bedtime.

So who's this Johnny, then?

Sorry, Mr. White.

You asked for him the other night
and I looked him up in the system.

But we don't have a
patient named Johnny White.

He won't be on your system.

Who is Johnny White?

We met in the army.

Wow.

That must have been
a very long time ago.

Don't be rude, young lady.

Did you stay in touch?

Letters, for a while.

Where is he now?

How should I know?

Did he die?

Will you both be quiet?

I'm trying to watch my program!

Mr. Prior used to write letters.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I wrote a love letter
once to a boy in my class.

Yeah?

Did he write you one back?

Yeah.

But he wasn't very good at spelling.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

I've never had a
boyfriend or a girlfriend.

I don't even know what
my sexuality is yet.

There's time for all that.

Have you ever written a letter?

I don't think so.

Although Tiffany and I,

we communicate via Post-it note.

That is so romantic.

That is not romantic,
it's just practical.

And you need to raise your expectations.

There's no point.

I'm hardly going to get
a love letter in here.

You never know.

All right, lights out time.

Night, Holly.

Night.

I have no idea.

I've been on nine dates this weekend

I'm not cut out for
romantic relationships.

Maybe I'm just...

[WATER DRIPPING LOUDLY]

Filling a void with natural
wines, small plates,

and conversations about rock climbing.

I've become so boringly predictable

with my car crash love life
that my friends don't even

bother picking up the phone anymore.

Hence, the multiple Post-it notes.

Write as many as you like.

I see you've found a place
for the coffee machine.

I'm glad we could make it work.

[SIGHS] I bumped into Justin and his...

beautiful new girlfriend last night.

She seems like a really nice person.

Nicer than me.

Maybe it was fate. You're
lucky you have someone.

I know I'm lucky.

Feels weird telling you this,

but since we're never going to meet,

I don't think I'm being a
very good boyfriend right now.

I f*cked up this weekend and managed

to both upset her and lose
the best part of a week's pay.

I was an idiot for thinking

I could raise enough money for a lawyer.

Maybe you and I should
steer clear of the apps.

PS, I have something to confess.

I visited your brother.

PS, I borrowed your shirt.

I should have asked you, but I didn't.

And as a thank you/sorry,

I have washed and ironed it for you.

PS, If you want to borrow all my shirts

I'm not making a sexist

I just love the feel of a pressed shirt,
