In Season 2, Episode 4, Matt sees his therapist again — it defies all logic that this therapist continues to make money. Matt admits he has been crying about his wife. The therapist tells him it is pathetic and women don’t want that — “Being you, you won’t get her back”.
He tells him to be a man.
Interview
There is an interview in After Life Season 2, Episode 4, where Lenny and Tony meet a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery, so much so that her face is paralyzed. She reveals that she kept going back to the same surgeon who kept getting the surgery wrong.
She admits she may have a problem.
Emma
Emma tells Tony that she cannot wait around, and then they have a little argument. Tony asks the nurse if it was just a drink with Simon. She said yes, but “it may not always be a drink, though.”.
She’s laying out the rules at this point, making Tony want her more.
Matt May Be Getting His Wife Back
At the midway point of Episode 4, Matt’s wife comes to the office to drop off his jumpers. Matt asks her if she wants to go to the talent night, and reveals that Kath wants to go with him. She suddenly changes her mind and accepts the invitation, clearly seeing Kath as a threat.
Matt tells Kath in the middle of the office that he’s off to the talent night with his wife and his son George, and then Tony, with comedic timing blurts out, “I’m killing myself that night” — previously, Matt told Tony to tell Kath that Matt cannot go to the talent night because he was going to kill himself, to get out of going to the event with Kath.
Tony shows his gentle side and takes Kath out for a coffee as she’s upset over Matt. Tony tells Kath that Matt should be flattered and that he wishes he had shown more of his feelings towards Lisa. Kath appreciates the coffee.
Tony is struggling just as much as he did in Season 1. After his coffee with Kath, where he brought up his wife, he walks around town drinking wine from a bottle. He meets Anne on the bench, and she drinks the bottle of wine with him.
“Lisa was my greatest achievement.”
Tony wants to be normal again, but feels he is too weak.
Tony meets the owner of the newspaper and asks him nicely not to close it down. The owner states that he doesn’t exactly need the money, but it would be good to have a woman in his life.
Tony tells Sandy the good news about the paper and she wells up. Tony seems to be a much kinder person in Season 2.
