Added DiffLines:

* InternalDeconstruction: Whilst Carole's habit of keeping her children in cupboards and drawers had been previously been portrayed negatively (mainly in putting her at risk of being fired and in how her oldest child Ben has grown to prefer cramped spaces over open ones), it was for the most part PlayedForLaughs and utilised as a source of BlackComedy. This episode shows the real-world consequences when an unseen member of public alerts the Department of Social Services into trying to take Carole's children into foster care, with only Carole's talents in music allowing her to keep them.
