State of the Union

Louise and Tom prepare for their first marital counselling session and try to work out how they have got to this point.

Tom commends himself for the courage it took to turn up late to last weeks session and promises to be there from the beginning this week.

Tom and Louise discuss the lost passion in their relationship - is this ever something they can find again?

Tom asks Louise to back him up in a lie with their counsellor -is it them against the world or not?

Following a bad session, Tom has moved out. Louise suggests that this could be the start of a slippery slope.

Tom makes an effort, Louise complains that it feels contrived. Tom realises that he has to remain himself while acting differently.
