Production on Renaissance is in full swing, but Jonathan isn't convinced the big opening scene has the wow factor Renaissance needs. Panicking about the show's sci-fi credentials, and desperate to re-write before Nancy finds out, he hires a new, experienced writer who proves to be more of a handful than he'd bargained for, meaning Georgina, the new writer, is actually a transsexual named George... with hairy hands.

The team is naturally furious they haven't been consulted about the new member of staff and when they learn that 'Georgina' is being paid more than them, Gillian leads a full-on writers' strike, bringing the production and Jonathan to their knees.

Increasingly annoyed by Georgina's outrageous demands Jonathan reaches breaking point and decides to sack her. Running short on time and with production at a stand still, will Jonathan manage to make amends with his writers and find his big opening scene to satisfy Nancy?
