Ben is playing mind-games, as he becomes fascinated by the world of psychology.

Jake meanwhile, has become a self-appointed parenting expert who likes to point out where Mum and Dad have failed in their upbringing of Karen.

Karen is competing in a swimming tournament, where her competitive edge has too much edge. Dad would like to try and control her but he is too busy fending off the attentions of a vigilant Daily Mail reader.
