Summary
Season 2, Episode 2 sees Tony battling with his caring but sensitive side as he realises his uphill battle to feel better is a long-term war.
After Life Season 2, Episode 2 opens up with Tony watching a video of him and Lisa having a dance at a wedding party. The next morning, postman Pat tells Tony he has got the flatshare, so he’s no longer homeless. He asks about the sex worker Roxy and wonders if he can set them up.
Tony apologizes to Matt for his walkout in meditation and explains he needed a drink afterward because he felt sad. Matt tells Tony that he needs to get better. Tony makes an alarming remark about the point of living any longer.
It’s clear that Tony is still in the same place as last season. Tony then tells his friend Anne that the meditation instructor was annoying. Anne makes a good point; that Tony only went to the session because he cares about Matt — he’s caring but sensitive.
Work Experience
Lenny introduces June’s son to the newspaper company for his work experience. Lenny’s son takes Brian to a talent theatre group who are preparing for a talent night. When Tony goes to investigate this theatre group, the leader claims he got bummed by a ghost.
Tony Goes To See His Father
When Tony goes to see his father, he sees the nurse Emma chatting with the new man Simon. Tony cannot help himself and asks Emma about Simon, but she brushes it off, claiming they are not an item, yet.
Tony makes a meal for Roxy who hates it. Roxy tells Tony that Lisa used to pretend to love his meals because he loved him. Tony agrees, and emotionally rambles on about Lisa and breaks down again — at the end of the conversation, Tony makes Roxy aware that the postman is interested in having a date with her.
Tony proves Anne right in this scene, he really does care about people.
