Episode 8: The Landlady's Cousin

Annie receives a note announcing that the old landlady is away on holiday but her cousin Eunice will be in charge during her absence. Everyone assumes that the cousin will be just as bad. The girls have bought a new self-assembly shelving unit. As usual the instructions are confusing and it is very difficult to assemble. Nick is called down to meet the landlady's cousin. On his return it is obvious that she is not what he expected. It turns out that she is a glamorous man-eater and Nick is her first meal! They start dating. Meanwhile Hector is determined to get together with Annie and it seems that love is in the air as they try to assemble the shelves together. Nick is getting desperate because Eunice is too much for him and he appeals to Bridget to help. She does so by pretending to be in love with him herself. This angers the cousin and raises Nick's hopes but in the end it is only Hector and Annie who have a serious relationship.

Nick thinks he has got a part in a Shakespeare play. When he is trying out his costume and lines, Annie and Bridget come in and discover that he is wearing Bridget's tights. Bridget is very proud of her new job at Channel 9. She is always showing off about the celebrities she meets every day. But she has some good news for Hector. The TV station is looking for a news reporter and Bridget persuades Hector to come in for an interview. Hector is not sure his English will be good enough but Bridget believes he can do it, because his English is improving all the time and good looks are even more important. But it is Nick who offers Hector some tips. When Hector does appear for an interview he discovers that Bridget's new boss is in fact the landlady's cousin who is more interested in good looks than in excellent language. Hector gets the job and arrives home to discover that Nick's Shakespeare job was in fact the job of delivery boy for Hamlet's Burgers, the fast food chain.
