The bad news for Rick is that his appearance on Phil Randall's phone-in show was a typical disaster and that Mel has offered to pay for Magda to return home for her sister's wedding. The good news is that Sam has split up with Ben but it gets worse when she seems to be going out with the ultra-gormless Spikey, who calls Rick Dick and is a 'walking bio-hazard'. Rick and Mel are invited to a dreadful play written by one of Mel's clients, who turns out to be a former stand-up. The play's high spot is when Ben's phone, which Rick has in his possession, goes off at a crucial moment, a fact that gets reported in the local paper's review of the play to Rick's embarrassment. At least Rick can save some money when it turns out that Magda's sister's wedding is off as the groom is already married. Sam goes back to Ben after Spikey puts himself in the hospital after trying to reconnect his electricity.
