Tim can't resist breaking his doctor confidentiality confiding into Heather he removed a dead spider from Colleen's ear, and the indiscretions multiply until Matt learns his bride is affected by the object of his great phobia. Heather soon regrets introducing to her mothers gossip band Jen, who quickly out-stages her as far most popular, but finds this bothersome and agrees to quit as quickly. At a loss to chose and hide a wedding present for Matt, overweight housemate Dougie commandeers his mother Joan to help. Tim volunteers the excuses-rich family to 'proofread' the oversize manuscript of Joan's first novel for her professor Sinclair Wilde and isn't forgiven when found the only one who didn't get round to it.
