In episode three of Problems - First Hot Day - it's the first scorcher of summer and Sam (Sam Simmons) badly wants an ice cream. But nothing is ever easy, and when the suburbs heat up, it gets even harder. When there is an angry mermaid, a card swallowing ATM and a mysterious tiger-kid in his way, Sam's quest looks all but impossible. Meanwhile, down the back of his couch, the Moth household (Gary Sweet and Susie Porter) is rocked by accusations of infidelity. Claudia O'Doherty is excited about selling chairs and is amazed that we aren't as pumped about upholstery as she is. Dave from Mall Bargains tries to convince Sam that dry toast is better than a soft-serve. Mooney tries to convince Morgan (Anthony Morgan) that having your sweat glands removed means a summer of bliss. And at the community hall along the road Warwick's mid-morning trivia takes a strange turn.
