The first instalment of the compelling drama saw a panicked Fi scrambling to find her husband and two children after she returned home one day to discover a new couple had moved into their home.
Viewers watched as flashbacks from the couple's relationship revealed that Bram had been unfaithful to Fi in recent years and the couple had decided to separate. Having settled on a nesting arrangement where the children remain in the family home and the parents take turns living in a shared flat, Fi and Bram seemed to be adjusting to their new co-parenting roles when the episode ended on a huge cliffhanger.

After receiving a call from Fi telling him to stop by the family house on his way back to their shared flat from a work function, Bram, eager to reconcile his relationship with Fi, gets in the car after drinking alcohol - a bad idea considering he is already banned from driving.

He begins to drive erratically and overtakes a slow driver, who immediately overtakes him again. As he pulls up alongside the other driver on the wrong side of the road, another car comes towards him from the other direction and veers off the road to avoid a crash. In the final scene, Bram pulls over and gets out of his car to see an overturned vehicle at the side of the road. Has he caused a crash?
Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to praise the gripping episode. One person wrote: "Hooked by the first episode of #OurHouse. @Tuppence and @martin_compston on excellent form," while another added: "What a cracking start to #OurHouse on ITV. @martin_compston and @Tuppence fantastic as Bram and Fi and book is being done justice so far."
