Martin is still pining for Clare, having written a novel about her and the others charge him money each time he mentions her name. Matthew has had cards printed advertising himself as a palm reader though his agoraphobia precludes any customers and the one female visitor to the flat, Tess Freeman, whom he wrongly believes to be a transsexual, is actually a debt collector chasing Mandy for the £9,000 pounds she owes on her credit cards. Fortunately Mandy's gentlemanly new boss Archie has taken a shine to her and gives her an interest-free loan to pay off the debt.
