Season 1

Lee went up to the Office to collect Dawn after work, Dawn wanted to go for a drinks with her colleagues but Lee insisted on them leaving. When Tim Canterbury told him he should join them, Lee replied that he and Dawn had to go. Dawn left Tim and Lee alone while she ran a final errand, which led to an uncomfortable silence between the two. Tim asked what was in Lee's bag, which led to Lee deciding he would wait outside.
