Synopsis: Otis (Asa Butterfield) is feeling violated by Jean’s book while Maeve (Emma Mackey) takes the fall for her brother.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Cynthia (Lisa Palfrey) knocks on Maeve’s door yelling “Mail call!” Maeve opens it and Cynthia hands her a brown paper wrapped package, saying a young lad dropped it off. “Skinny, sickly-looking fella,” she adds. She is carrying her large longhair tabby cat Jonathan in her arms. This time the cat is wearing a knitted cap.
