12. Let's Dance!

After managing to offend and upset every one of his siblings by accusing them of being involved in their father's death, Luther tries to get the group back on good terms by throwing on eighties classic I Think We're Alone Now by Tiffany.

Somehow, he manages to get the entire family - albeit in different rooms, because everyone wants to dance like no-one is watching - pulling off some serious dance moves. While he's certainly a dab hand with knives, Diego is even more impressive with his popping and locking skills, Klaus sways around the room holding their father's urn and even Vanya the introvert manages to get in on the action. It's certainly one of the funniest and most unexpected scenes in the series.

After a blistering argument, it's easy to think that this is a dysfunctional family beyond repair. However, this scene shows that even though they're a broken unit, there's still a chance that they can be fixed.
