Unfortunately for Lee and Lucy, Wendy rediscovers her love of painting and gifts them a portrait of Frank.
Further details
It's been over a year since Frank's passing and the always lovely Wendy, rediscovering a long lost love for painting, decides to create a very unique tribute in oils. How can Lee and Lucy break the news that they don't necessarily like the likeness?
The usually curmudgeonly Geoffrey seems very keen on the painting, but is all as it seems and might there be an even more eye-popping piece to emerge from his wife's creative awakening. Could it get any more awkward?
