Former lovers and now middle-aged business partners Pam and Merv try to "get with it" by opening a cyber section in their Vodka and Veggie cafe. Chantal tells all about her latest bit of plastic surgery and Merv tries to persuade Pam that love is more important than the money of her new yet forever absent husband Dominic. Oh, and the computers get stolen, too.
