- Summary: Flora Matlock, the wife of the ambitious and self-confident Conservative government Minister of the Family, is devastated when the press uncover her husband's affair with former escort girl Jennifer Caird. While Duncan Matlock fights for his political life, Flora attempts to come to terms with his adultery under heavy pressure from the Party - not to mention her own father Clive, a staunch Tory supporter - to stand by him. Unable to withstand Ducan's desperate pleas not to leave him, she appears to the outside world, and to her husband, as a model of loyalty and forgiveness. But behind the mask lies growing discomfort as she discovers the rampant sexuality of her husband's affair, and sees the damaging effect of his betrayal on their children. While Duncan appears to be winning the battle for political survival Flora is shocked by further revelations from his Special Adviser Mark Holister, and her despair and confusion deepen.
