Alex’s teacher writes home to say that: “Alex is possibly gifted but we’ll never know because he has the attention span of a gnat.” Jimmy, surprised by this comment about his son, latches onto the “ gifted” part while Diana’s focus is on Alex’s “not living up to his potential”. In an attempt to get to know his brilliant son better, Jimmy enlists his help to finally finish his DIY in the back room only to discover how unfocused Alex really is. Meanwhile, Siobhan and Kev commiserate about the amount of time Jimmy is spending with his family leaving them both feeling like spurned lovers.
