Belinda is a bank manager, but far from happy in her 'empowered' role - in fact, she's intent on sending her husband back to his engineering job and becoming an almost traditional housewife.
Belinda grows increasingly worried about Mr Tennant and the stories of his domineering wife, so refers him to David at the Citizens' Advice Bureau. David, in turn, recommends some marriage guidance counselling.
Amidst increasing disagreements over their employment futures, both Belinda and David make moves to put the house on the market. But neither want to leave, so whose bluff will be called first?
After 147 rejections, David finally lands a job interview. If only he could remember what it was for! Meanwhile, Ned is causing trouble again and has applied for a position in the personnel department at head office.
Discovering that they already can't pay their bills, Belinda challenges David to a week's economy drive in an attempt to deduce how much money they need to live on. Meanwhile, head office sends someone to discover just why Belinda has tendered her resignation.
Finding herself absent-mindedly munching on raw brussel sprouts, Belinda begins worrying she may have fallen pregnant again.
