When Joe retires after 40 years of undistinguished work in a nondescript factory everything changes, and both he and his wife find themselves spiraling downwards from a life of contentment into depression and discontentment.
Dossa and Joe continue with the counsellor but Joe is still resistant to the idea of therapy and discussing his 'feelings' with either Dossa or Claire the counsellor.
Another session with the marriage guidance counsellor and Joe is convinced counsellor Claire is a 'fruit loop': "you're hostile to men, you have your own car and a moustache bigger than mine..." just as he suspects Robbo at work to be.
Joe's old friend, Charlie, pays a visit to Dossa and Joe and enjoys flirting with Dossa. He's a real charmer and has brought French champagne and flowers to impress Dossa.
