* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: In "The Mother", the titular character is a new mother who’s exhausted from sleep deprivation. In one scene she is casually chatting to Roy while chopping up vegetables for dinner, mentioning how tired she is but that you go on all the same, while he makes sympathetic noises. When she’s finished neatly chopping the vegetables she then automatically sweeps every last one of them into the bin, without even noticing that she’s doing it. Roy starts to tell her that she’s about to do it but then stops himself.
