When that call comes, in the summer of 1988, Emily's in Manchester living with friends and she doesn't have a clue what's been going on with Gareth and his teacher. Were you shocked? Were you shocked when she told you?

Philippa sagt ihr, dass die Christ College School eine Aktion gemacht hat. Dass Frau Bowen gefragt wurde, um zu gehen und wieder zu lernen. Aber das Problem ist nicht weggegangen. Denn was sie versteht, ist, dass die langen, fehlenden Sommerabende viele freie Zeit für Gareth und Frau Bowen zu treffen und Sex zu haben. Also in einem Moment von Desperation nennt sie ihre ungewöhnliche Tochter Emily.

There's no particular plan, just the idea that a bit of space away from London might be enough to break the pair up. So they send Gareth to stay with his sister in Manchester. When Emily collects her brother from the coach station, she tries probing him, but he won't admit anything.

And then, only days into his stay, one of Emily's flatmates tells her, some strange lady's been calling on the phone for her brother. She knows it must be Miss Bowen.

There are so many things I wish Emily had asked her. Like, why did she think it was okay to have sex with a child? And why was she still contacting him, even after it seemed to have cost her her job? But in that moment, Emily's too angry to think rationally. She says her piece and then hangs up without waiting for a response.

Aber dann wirkt sie, als wäre sie ein normales Paar, nimmt ihn in Publikum und ringt ihn öffentlich für Gespräche, wenn sie apart sind. In any case, the Manchester Plan hasn't worked. Gareth packs his bag and heads back to London, whereas Mum Philippa tries one last tactic.

Das war es. Sie hat es vielleicht bedroht, in die Polizei zu gehen. Aber tatsächlich, mit Gareth und seinem Lehrer, die es alles negieren, fühlt Philippa nicht, dass sie genug Beweise hat.

So she didn't say we have to stop because this is wrong or the school's found out?

Sie haben Sex zum letzten Mal. Und dann schließt Frau Bowen die Tür auf ihre 15-jährige Freundin. Wie fühlst du dich? Warst du enttäuscht?
