Rick buys himself a scooter however he starts to worry that it makes him look gay.
Further details
Rick buys himself a scooter. His initial excitement about the purchase turns to dismay, however, as he starts to worry that it makes him look gay, and Mel is doubtful that his solution of buying a leather jacket will have the desired effect.
Rick's work isn't going too well either - his spot hosting the Air Conditioning and Climate Control Awards didn't go as well as planned, and his paranoia about being gay leads him to write a series of homophobic jokes for the Annual Hairdresser Awards.
Meanwhile Rick has a spectacular row about 'invisible' mending with local dry cleaner Mr Tilak.
