So how does After Life season 2, episode 4 start?

He tells him to be a man.
Is there an interview in Episode 4?
There is, Lenny and Tony meet a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery, so much so her face is paralyzed. She reveals that she kept going back to the same surgeon that kept getting the surgery wrong.
She admits she may have a problem.
What’s happening with Emma in episode 4?
Well, 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 wants her more.
Matt may be getting his wife back.
At the midway point of After Life season 2, episode 4, Matt’s wife comes to the office to drop his jumpers off. 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 showed more of his feelings towards Lisa. Kath appreciates the coffee.
How is Tony though?
He’s 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.
