It's not dissatisfaction. It's a feeling more akin to having been born in captivity. A seeping realisation that your dreams and ambitions are just too big, too rich for this domestic world.

In this episode: Hal (6), Annie Sawyer (3), Cutler (3), Alex Mayhew (2), Eve (2)
Three people can't have dinner together. That's barbaric!

[Tom]'s like a child. He's lovely. He's like a pet. Bloody big one, like a St Bernard or a horse. He's physically incapable of lying or being cruel, so I do worry about him... He shouldn't be killing vampires, he should be getting disappointing A Level results.

AAlex
Trust me, I've been doing that since you arrived.
I make a bloody good cup of tea.
That's my girl!
