Doug Heffernan puts in a long day's work delivering parcels and comes home each night to his loving wife, Carrie; unfortunately, he also comes home to his wacko father-in-law, Arthur.
Doug hates Carrie's new hairstyle but can't bring himself to tell her the truth; Spence dreads an upcoming reunion with a former teacher.
Doug tries to prove he would protect Carrie in a life-or-death situation after he makes a dumb move while on a rough plane ride.
Carrie asks Doug to be a witness at her boss's trial, but then fears he won't be professional in the courtroom.
Spence's new girlfriend Becky, a trainee chef, leads Doug into temptation with her culinary delights, to the annoyance of Carrie.
