In this episode Dara is stepping carefully as he negotiates a painfully recent family tragedy - the sudden death of Pepper, the beloved family dog. Still too soon to fully unpack the depth of his grief, he nonetheless attempts to convey Pepper's importance and unique brand of loveliness.
Refusing to wallow in the horror of how she died, nor wanting to indulge maudlin reminiscing, Dara instead reads 'Hilary', a short story he wrote 12 years ago about saying farewell to a loyal companion. Naturally, the story takes on a resonance that was not expected when it was written.
