- Unambitious,easy-going Lee shares a flat with his more go-getting Californian landlady Kate,who suggests that ,as an outlet for his skills,he joins a class teaching people to become clowns.

- Lee is teaching Kate to drive but she is not a responsive pupil and this is stressing him out.

Once again Lee finds himself with a resident landlady.

Guy has his doubts and tests Lee by taking him to a gay club, but Tim is suspicious and Lee explains to him about the pretence. They are overheard by Guy, who is also straight - and starting to date Lucy.
- Lee is annoyed that Guy,who is older than Lucy,has more or less moved into the flat,walking about in the nude and sees his chance to prove Guy's lack of worth when he discovers that Guy owns a lap-dancing club.

Upon returning to retrieve it, he discovers the building holds secrets that would have been better left alone.
- Barbara and Lucy encourage Lee to go speed dating as they feel he needs a girl-friend. He meets Daisy,an indecisive hair-dresser and invites her back to the flat for dinner but she dumps him anyway. Tim is forced to take Barbara on a date to show that he regards her as more than the hired help after some tactless words whilst Guy is in Thailand which means Lucy is having frequent long distance calls with him.
