Olivia Colman as Fleabag's stepmother comes across as very nice to Fleabag and her sister. Outwardly she is accommodating but you sense words and actions are different. Look at the way when the sisters arrive for dinner with their father and they bring flowers and she leaves them outside the house.
Fleabag's mother died of breast cancer and their father makes sure that his daughters have an annual check up. Of course Fleabag still tries to be creepy to the doctor.
They have an annual memorial dinner for their mother with their father but this time the stepmother is here as well. Well the stepmother likes Fleabag's date for the dinner. The rear entry guy, she thinks he is gorgeous and invites him to her forthcoming sex exhibition.
However dinner with the stepmother does not go well as she comes with barbed comments including planning to sell up and move to France for their father's happiness.
As with the pathos last week with the bank managers, this week the comedy soon turns acerbic and bittersweet. At least Fleabag and her dad get to have some tender moments as they drop food on the kitchen floor.
