The Harpers are in crisis, as usual, when Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe) leaves for university. Susan's (Zoe Wanamaker) subsequent realization that she's now the only woman in the household begins to take its toll, especially on Michael (Gabriel Thomson), whom Susan now turns to for advice on dresses and make-up. Ben (Robert Lindsay) attempts to help by inviting his cousin's daughter Abi (Siobhan Hays) to stay, but when Abi makes a documentary about typical family life for her college project with the Harpers as subject, it turns out more like a horror picture. Meanwhile, Nick (Kris Marshall) attempts to raise money through a variety of jobs, none of which lasts very long thanks to his abject incompetence.
