13. Whilst Ben & Jay are sharing many a tense word over all the issues Ben has with Phil after his attack. Lola is worried so uses Lexi as a way to make Ben see sense...the conversation works & makes Ben see that there are people who care and maybe it isn’t worth ruining that!
14. The morning after the stag do, Ben is in no way wanting to go to the wedding but Lexi dressed in her best princess dress is eager to go...

33. Ngl I loved this first little scene of Bens pov episode, Lexi yelling at Ben to put his hearing aid in and as always adapting to Bens desfness and signing to him to ask if he wants toast. It highlights that Ben is clearly learning to sign with her and it warms my heart
34. This beautiful scene, 1st of all Lexi getting Ben to beg for his toast LOVE IT, their exchange when Ben nearly steps out in front of a van honestly made me tear up...
“Don’t die daddy, I need you, even if your ears don’t work” with the adorable ear scrunch, my heart hurts
