Season 3 - Episode 7 - Aired 2/12/2017

Andy's creative juices are flowing and he's gathering a measure of success as a music producer. For the first time, he has to think about real decisions regarding what matters most to him - can he prioritise his career without hurting his relationship with his family? And what about settling down and having his own family? Can he be happy as a successful writer/producer, even if it means he'll never be a 'star'? Can he be a successful star if it might preclude a wife and kids? Errol is dealing with disillusionment and stability changes in his two new home lives. He's always put a priority on education and school, but now it's losing its lustre. He's looking for more from life, he's looking for meaning and being the smartest guy in the room's not doing it for him anymore, especially as hormones start to kick in.
