Adding to the chorus of praise: this really is absolutely brilliant. James's decision - finally - to be honest with Robbie about areas where he's previously lied or prevaricated is perfectly juxtaposed with Robbie's statement that he isn't going to push because it's been the wrong thing in the past. And James tells Robbie just the right amount - no details, but there's enough for Robbie to read between the lines - without any overdone emotion. And Robbie's reaction - What do you want me to do? - is also perfect. Beautiful understated finish, also.
