Ken tries to make Sinead see that Daniel must go to Oxford to realise his potential. He thinks Daniel is infatuated as she's his first girlfriend and can't see what a mistake he's making. Sinead is annoyed when he dismisses their relationship as a dalliance and responds by telling him she's pregnant. Ken's horrified that Daniel has wasted himself on her as they have little in common. Sinead points out that he and Deirdre were also very different. Ken admits that, while he loved Deirdre, she didn't give him the intellectual conversation he craved. He talks about his own squandered potential and asks her to let Daniel go if she really loves him. His conversation is overheard by Tracy and Amy as they silently enter the house.
