Louisa decides to make money by selling produce at the local market, where she is not very successful but meets dashing Englishman Hugh Jarvis. A less welcome encounter is with abrasive new landlady Vasilia, who confiscates the furniture until the rent is paid. Louisa's solution is to create traditional British fare to sell and is grateful to Spiros for sharpening her sales technique. Gerry is more concerned with breeding otters whilst Margo, having failed to woo a young monk, considers becoming a nun. Louisa is charmed by Hugh but fears his interest in her is making ex-girlfriend Vasilia jealous and intent on making trouble for her. Written by don @ minifie-1

Larry is delighted his novel has been accepted for publication but dismayed by his family's apathy as Margo is more interested in the sexy priest and Gerry is obsessed with adding to his menagerie. To make amends Louisa organizes a public reading but it is poorly attended though good reviews in the English press are the cause for a party, where everybody gets drunk on Leslie's home-made kumquat liquor. However Larry's latest manuscript is destroyed during the festivities and he decides to move to his own flat, leaving a despondent Louisa to be consoled by Hugh Jarvis. Written by don @ minifie-1

Louisa goes to see Larry in his grim flat though he has another, carnal, visitor in Vasilia and almost misses his mother's birthday picnic.

Meanwhile Leslie decides to take up photography, Gerry parts company with his new tutor, having caused an accident and Vasilia has a proposition for Louisa. For all that a second picnic is a much more successful affair and Hugh is still keen to woo Louisa. Written by don @ minifie-1
