Series History

Season 5

Scalesby appears at Luther and Pawbert's wedding in S05E24 "Always", arriving alongside Crispin and the Pawthorne family. When Maris thanks them for coming, Scalesby's voice is thick with emotion as she explains that she and Crispin watched Luther grow up and would not miss this moment for anything.

During the reception, Scalesby shares stories with Nick about Luther's childhood, including tales of him sneaking into the kitchen at midnight to steal cookies. She recalls how Luther would stuff his cheeks like a chipmunk and leave crumbs on his pillow, thinking no one noticed. She also mentions that Luther had a stuffed rabbit he slept with until he was ten years old.

When Luther catches Nick gathering these stories, Scalesby gently pats his arm and reminds him that he was a wonderful cub and there is no shame in that.
