Episode 4.07 of Out With Dad is called "Out Clubbing" and it revolves around Rose and new/old friend Owen recapping their night at some night spots. The main thrust of the episode is getting Rose to admit she'd like to date someone, since it has been 3 years since the Claire/Vanessa debacle. Rose tries to set up Owen with a date of his own and he agrees if Rose will try to get a date with a girl she met in a club.
That's really about it for this episode, except that the conversation is very interesting, fun, and realistic. This is truly a change of pace from the previous episodes of this season and I liked it a lot. I see that fans are still upset at the pace of this season, but this looks like it will shake things up.
Oh, and Rose asks "shaved head girl" out for tea. Tea! A OWD staple!
And now we turn out attention to Vanessa.
Set shortly after the end of season 3, Vanessa seeks counselling on her Father's recommendation to deal with the traumas she endured after running away. We find out why she didn't return to school, and we find out how afraid she is. This episode sets the stage for the future of Vanessa.
Lindsey Middleton is sad and somewhat creepy in her portrayal of Vanessa in this episode. It seems almost too real, and it really shook me up after seeing this one. This is also a bit of a shock after the light-hearted "Clubbing" episode discussed above.
I'm not sure what else to say but, my does creator/writer/director Jason Leaver come up with some engaging stories! Lucky for me there's more out right now to watch!!
