Jonny is in a real pickle: he wants to split up with his 43 year old girlfriend (Liz - who's also his boss), but is too scared to do so. Adam, meanwhile is happy to keep teasing him about her age ("I'll switch the stair lift on").
Grandma, who's come for dinner, offers Jonny some advice - "Take her out dancing", before showing him how to dance in the kitchen. While they dance to the music on the radio, it transpires that it's actually just the music for the news headlines, and before long, Jonny and Grandma are actually dancing to the news. Adam is loving it.
Meanwhile, Dad has been drying fish under the stairs, (Dad: "Have you never had dried fish before?" asks dad "Not from a cupboard" replies Adam).
Then Grandma gets locked in the boot of Adam's car, and everything changes. How will they get her out? And as if that isn't bad enough, Jonny's girlfriend, Liz turns up at the house. What will Jonny do?
