"Come on, I think Frogspawn is owed a break anyway."

Guppy climbs over the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs, and leads the way.

"He doesn't like it if we move the furniture, so we're keeping him from going downstairs."

"Alex, Kate's come to see you."

The episode finishes, and the toddler looks around.

"Kate." he says.
