“We were coming back from somewhere, and I desperately needed a loo.”
Why it's great

Takeaways What you walk away with The legs line turns therapy into sex. The loo is cover for a key she cannot demand. Sore eyes is how the mums swallow the lie. Down for this asks Dom to be an accomplice.
People also search Questions, then the lines What does the 'her legs' line do to the life coach? It recasts mind-opening as sex, and makes Tabby the punchline.
Why can't Yas just ask for the key? She says she cannot walk up and demand it, so they have to chat.
What does Janet accept with 'say no more'? The loo story. She ushers them in and offers a drink.
Why does 'mums, plural' matter here? It names Janet and Tanice, and turns family into a spare-key plan.
