Episode 32 by Abadesi Osunsade
Mike has lost his voice - and in the silence, everything else finally gets heard.
As doctor’s orders force him into wordlessness, a series of visits change the shape of his world: his daughter confronts the feelings he’s always joked away, his mum announces a bold new beginning, and his ex-wife says the things that were never said when it mattered most. Just as Mike begins to listen properly - to others and to himself - a quiet walk on the Common brings one final conversation that could change everything.

Open Mind By Emma Cooney
What starts as a harmless drink in Mike’s pub turns into an unexpectedly intimate day out, as Mike and Tash are thrown together for a series of flat viewings across Wandsworth. From awkward silences and disastrous properties to sirens, students, and a coffin that really shouldn’t be there, the day becomes less about finding the right flat and more about what they’re both quietly looking for next. As hope builds around one final place near Tooting Common, phone calls, old loyalties and a surprise confession threaten to shift everything. Sometimes it’s the most ordinary days that ask the biggest questions about love, timing, and what it really means to move on.
