Exactly JoJo.
Steph's phone call from her dad was weird, he kept saying how proud he was of her.!!!
I guess that explains some of why she's the way she is.

It was an odd call, but it must have been difficult for him - he knew that she needed support rather than a telling off, so he was a bit limited in what he could say I guess.
I'm not sure that Steph was taking it all in - he said he was proud of her right at the beginning and she kept asking later if he was proud, so I think it went over her head.

Yes I'm conflicted about Daniella for the same reasons, but she does ponder on what she's said - you can hear that she's had therapy in the way she phrases things sometimes and that will have taught her to go over what she says and does, and re-assess. I hope that she an Steph can have a conversation when they're both in a more stable environment.

I shall watch on a delay and FF GMcCharlatan, otherwise there's a danger I could seriously injure myself or the TV.
I wonder if the HMs were briefed before this task - as in 'don't ask about anyone who isn't actually on the phone'. I'd like to think that was for altruistic reasons but more likely to be that they can't use the footage to broadcast if others are being discussed in their absence.
