Episode 3

S1, E3: Alone in the pub; Áine remembers Seán’s ‘F**k It’ List and his dream to see the Northern Lights. Lloyd arrives in the pub – he doesn’t want to halt their conversation just yet. In Spain, Denise’s wrong turn leads her into the path of an aggressive dog and as she runs for shelter, she twists her ankle. In a shed, hurt and afraid, Denise rings Lloyd. Lloyd does his best to comfort her from afar. But just as he’s about to ask her what they are to each other now – Denise hears someone coming and hangs up. Áine asks Lloyd how he and Denise first got together. We see Lloyd and Denise’s first meeting at a ‘Karaoke Klash’ competition and the first sparks of attraction between them. But then we see a flashback from a more recent time – of Denise telling Lloyd that she needs space. A song playing in the pub plunges Áine into a painful memory of a nasty fight with Seán’s mother, Pauline. In the present, it’s clear Áine and Lloyd are lonely and hurting. Instead of going their separate ways, they decide to get chips and keep talking. On the Camino, Denise has finally limped to her hostel for the night – and is shocked to find her mother there. In Dublin, Lloyd invites Áine back to the flat, and she accepts.
