In no time at all, the three dads are round getting to know their children again.

Lily plays her last football match with the under 11's, but like her dad Eddie, she hates growing up. April, on the other hand, needs change, a new challenge and the promotion in Corporate Hospitality might be what she needs. She has the right qualifications, but they are probably after someone younger and more attractive.
