Terry tries to become European when he entertains Jean-Paul, a work colleague from France. But his effect on June makes Terry feel less of the entente cordiale and more of the green-eyed monster.

Terry complains of feeling unwell and June wonders if it has anything to do with him talking to the petunias in the garden earlier in the day. He decides to cut out fatty meals and prescribes himself diet and exercise.

Terry wants to get away from it all and live in the country but June wisely suggests a holiday in a rented cottage first - just in case.
