Faith catches Joe smoking, and Bill starts work on a top-secret project at home, disrupting the smooth running of the household.

Faith treats Bill to a night in a grand hotel to celebrate their anniversary but they are constantly interrupted by hotel staff and Bill is not pleased when Faith drags him to the theatre when he would rather have dinner. They eventually order room service food but are so tired they fall asleep before they can eat it - or indulge in any romance. Fortunately they have all next morning to themselves before needing to vacate the room.

Faith decides to reconcile Richard with Marjorie, who has thrown him out. Everything is going according to plan until Richard refuses to sack Liza whereupon Marjorie walks out. Faith is no more successful at keeping the peace between Bill and Joe, who has returned the jacket he borrowed from Bill in a filthy state. Matters are not helped when Faith wrongly believes that Joe has been sniffing glue.
