Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The night before her wedding to Hugo, Alice mentions that her biological father is David Horton, which Geraldine thinks means Hugo's father and therefore makes Hugo and Alice half siblings. However, the following morning she learns that it's actually the cousin of the current David Horton's father, thus making them second cousins once removed i.e. still related, but not closely enough for it to be incestuous.
