Ghosts. Humphrey (Laurence Rickard)
Mike and Alison receive an incredible offer far beyond their expectations. They must make a decision, the result of which will change their lives forever.

Further details

Mike and Alison receive a life-changing offer beyond their wildest dreams. Still reeling from the news and anxious to discuss it, they are interrupted by a heartbroken Obi, who has been suddenly dumped by a strangely callous Brenda. Alison and Mike agree to reconvene with lists of pros and cons. At first, Obi's romantic woes find a sympathetic ear in eternally lovelorn Thomas, but even he tires of Obi's self-pity. Meanwhile, Alison must fend off the ghosts, desperate to sway her decision.
