Lorna's best friend, Connie, is round for dinner - and self-appointed guru Cuckoo manages to motivate her to leave Steve and pursue her childhood dream of becoming a singer.

The only cloud on the horizon is the fact that Connie's voice is horrible and shit. Ken survives three days listening to the caterwauling harpie - before he realises it's time to act.
