Honor enters the story at the end of Series 1 with news that changes Peter’s understanding of Simon’s disappearance: she is pregnant and says Simon is the father. Her arrival gives the family mystery a future-facing consequence, since Peter must consider not only what happened to his half-brother but what the child will need.
By Series 2, Honor and baby Daniel live with Peter, and the household has taken on a new shape during the year between series. Simon’s return disturbs it. Honor’s departure later in the run leaves Peter and Lyle with different forms of loss and uncertainty, while her feelings for Lyle complicate the friendship among the adults around Daniel.
