Wait, why are you happy?
Why shouldn't I be? Boom! [CHUCKLES]
- You don't remember last night?
- Nah.
[STRAINING] Must've gotten
too drunk and blacked out.
You kept turning back time to try
and stop me from breaking up with you.
But she did anyway.
[MUSIC FADES]
Oh, that rings a bell.
[SOBS] I think we should break up.
- [CRIES]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
Oh, no. Oh, God. No, no, no.
It's all coming back to me.
No, no, no. Unring the bell.
- Unring the bell.
- Don't be sad. Uh, look.
Gordon gave Jen his come
money for the clinic.
A-And Jizzlord and I are a couple.
A couple of what?
A couple. A couple,
couple. A romantic pairing.
- What?
- I know. It is adorable. [SQUEALS]
No What? It's gross.
What Isn't that illegal?
- You can't fuck your cat.
- Hey! No.
He's a man that can turn into a cat.
Not a cat that turns into a
man. Totally different. Right?
Mm-hmm.
I need to lie down.
Where is he anyway? He went
out to the shops ages ago.
- Hello.
- Hi.
[KID] That man looks like Daddy.
[GULPS]
[GASPS]
Rob, I
[GASPS]
Rob, it's me. Nora, your wife.
Mmm. Yeah.
[POP MUSIC STARTS]
- [PANTS]
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- Maybe he's got a secret family.
- [LAUGHS]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh, we were just talking about you.
I haven't got a secret family!
[CHUCKLES] Stop eavesdropping
on us, you big weirdo.
[LAUGHS] Anything interesting
happen at the shops?
Nope.
Huh.
[DENISE] 11,970. 11,990.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[CLINIC WORKER 1] If your
power is category five,
please remember to sign
in and out of security.
Oh.
[SMACKS LIPS] 12,000. [CHUCKLES]
Welcome to the Power
Discovery programme.
[SQUEALING, LAUGHING]
- Yes, yay.
- [CHUCKLES] Okay. Wh what now?
Is there a machine?
No. You're going to be having weekly
one-on-one sessions
with a qualified coach.
Oh. So, who's my coach?
Uh, George. Oh, that's
him over there, actually.
[CLEARS THROAT]
He's a bit of a DILF, right?
- Carrie!
- What? He is.
You've been single for two minutes
and you're already
perving on local DILFs.
[CARRIE] He's giving sexy professor.
He's 85.
- I'd still ride him, though, yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]
- He's coming over.
- What?
Denise. [SIGHS] Do you have
discharge forms for Mr Lowry?
One minute. You have a new client.
Oh.
Hello.
Uh, me, Jen. Me Jen.
My name's Jen. Sorry.
- No power. Twenty five. A lot of work.
- [JEN SIGHS]
- So, when do we start?
- Well, um, how's right now?
Now, now?
[STAMMERS] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay.
- [SIGHS]
- After you.
[SIGHS] Thanks, Dad.
Yeah, I'm confident ♪
More than competent ♪
Think I'll probably put
my name on a monument ♪
[SIGHS]
- I see you've met Denise.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's great.
Hmm, really? I think she's
a sour-faced dickhead.
Oh, my God, isn't she?
[LAUGHS] Sulphureous bitch.
[BOTH LAUGH]
So. Do you know what I'm here to do?
Fix me?
[LAUGHS] Not quite, no.
Some people think powers
are a physical thing.
A chemical or some bullshit. I don't.
I think they come from up here,
and it's likely there is
some psychological blockage
we have to overcome before
you can get your power.
Because it is in there.
And it's my job to take you
inside your mind and find it.
So, is that like talk therapy or
Oh, no. I mean literally.
May I?
[GEORGE] Mmm.
Welcome to your mind.
Or at least the physical
space your subconscious
has rendered your mind into.
- This is my mind?
- [GEORGE] Mm-hmm.
It's a shithole.
[LAUGHS] And somewhere in this shithole
is the thing that's blocking your power.
And the books are
I'd imagine they're everything
you've ever felt, thought or done.
Found something useful?

You have to stand up for yourself ♪
[GEORGE] Subtle.
[CHUCKLES]
Where do you even begin?
Well, let's take it slow. Give
yourself a few days to prepare.
Reassess your environment, your
habits. Make space for the journey.
- That sounded really wanky, didn't it?
- Yeah, but I know what you mean.
This is a fresh start.
Everything's gonna change.
I'm going to change.
Let's set realistic expectations.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Totally.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]
[BOTH PANT, SQUEAL]
[MUSIC STOPS]
- What are you doing?
- Clean slate.
Anything that might hold me back
from the new Jen is going into the void.
The pit of unwanted
things. The Mystery Hole.
What? That thing people
fly-tip into in Walthamstow?
Yeah.
We're doing it too,
Kash. Out with the old.
We could sit around
moping about breaking up,
or we see this as an opportunity to
reinvent ourselves. A fresh start.
No, no, no. You can't
throw that out. No.
Kash, come on.
What And this?
What even is it?
And-And these. Come on.
What's wrong with these?
[CARRIE GROANS]
- Kash.
- What? They're still good.
See? They still go on.
You can't just change
everything overnight.
Course you can!
It's not possible to escape your past.
It clings to you like dust
settling into the once
clean carpet of your future.
And the Hoover of
change has poor suction.
Jizz? Scratchin' the sofa.
Oh.
Jizz? Jizzlord?
They don't even cover your bumhole!
- Even better.
- How is that better?
- You okay?
- Me? Yeah. Okay as a clam.
[SIGHS] You haven't been eating.
You're hiding away in small
spaces, excessively grooming.
You're obviously stressed.
And I think I know why.
Uh, I don't know how to do this
either. The whole relationship thing.
- So, let's just start by going on a date.
- [SIGHS]
Like a proper date. A first date,
technically. Just you and me.
Yeah, because there isn't
another person involved.
Um, true.
So, I'll book a restaurant.
Just Just let me show you!
Here?
Trousers down, squat, wipe, trousers up.
No fuss. Maximum efficiency.
[SIGHS] The life of these
pants is only just beginning.
- [CARRIE] They are a health hazard!
- It's good bacteria.
Hello, world, let
me tell you who I am ♪
Hello, world ♪
I don't think you understand ♪
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- [ANGE] Oh, I love a breakup makeover.
When Danny Fruss dumped
me right before Italia 90,
I went out and got the whole works.
Perm, boobs, adult braces.
I thought, when this man sees me
again, he won't know what hit him.
What happened? What'd he do?
He drowned. Scuba diving
accident in Turkey.
Very, very sad.
I want a completely different look.
Something totally new. [CHUCKLES]
But what is that specifically?
I don't know. I have no
idea who I am or what I want.
- Please tell me who I am and what I want.
- Carrie, no.
The point of a breakup makeover is
to relearn how to be a new person.
- [SLURPS]
- [CARRIE] I could use a little guidance.
Do we know anyone who has
absolutely smashed a breakup?
Mm-hmm.
Yes, well he sounds like an
absolute little shit, darling.
Uh, no, Diana. He's not that bad.
He just needs to grow up a bit.
- Mm-hmm.
- I closed the shop for a week
when you died.
Woolworths was open the whole time.
[GASPS] Oh! Can you sign
me plates? Wait here.
So, uh, what do you think I
should do, Your Highness of a
Miss, Miss, Mrs, Miss,
Mrs, Miss Princess.
Mmm.
Let's go total tart.
[SQUEALING, CHEERING]
- And I should get a fringe.
- Oh, my God. No.
Absolutely do not do that.
I got a whole lot of confidence ♪
Don't be mad at my competence ♪
'Cause you shower me in compliments ♪
Kash, can I ask you for some advice?
I've been expecting this. You want
to know how to have a girlfriend.
Why would I ask you? You
don't have a girlfriend.
I'd usually go on my smoke break
now, but I don't even miss it.
- I actually feel really energised.
- Mmm.
[PRINCESS DIANA] Oh, yes,
straight in with the leather.
Self-improvement is a piece of piss.
[DOOR SENSOR RINGS]
Oh, hi.
Sorry.
I'm looking for someone.
Uh, I was wondering if you could
put this poster up in your window.
- Yeah. Who are you looking for?
- My husband. [SIGHS]
Well, if I can help in any way, I will.
You don't have the context,
but basically, I'm good now.
[CHUCKLES]
[GASPS]
[JEN] Robert Clutton?
Do you know him?
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
No.
Well. [CHUCKLES] Thank you anyway.
[CARRIE] I can't breathe, Your Highness.
[PRINCESS DIANA] That's how
you know it's working, darling.
What do you think?
I ain't got a Sharpie, but
I found a very wet biro.
[CHUCKLES]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[KASH] I did have a girlfriend though.
I've had three girlfriends,
if you count pen pals.
So, I'm kind of an expert.
Oh, great. That's exactly what I
need. Because, um, basically, um
Jizzlord has a wife.
[STAMMERS] And a son?
And she came in here,
she's looking for him.
And I bumped into them
yesterday, and they remember me.
But I didn't tell her that I know him.
And I haven't told Jen.
It's okay. It's okay.
We can figure this out.
- Oh, my God, you're fucked.
- [MUMBLES]
You're absolutely fucked.
This kicks up so many emotional
and moral questions, like
- Is she hot?
- She did seem quite symmetrical.
Pretty. Like toothbrush ad pretty.
[SCREAMS]
What are you gonna do?
I thought you'd tell me.
You said you were the expert!
I don't know!
You have to tell him.
Uh, but what if I just, like, don't?
[SIGHS]
As somebody who knows who he actually
is, you can't keep that from him.
- What if he likes her more than me?
- It's your new chapter, remember?
You really want to start it
lying to someone you care about?
[JIZZLORD] I keep meaning to tell her,
but every time I start
thinking about it,
and then I can't stop thinking
even though I tell my brain not to.
Hey! Don't let your brain
push you around like that.
Look, I used to be anxious.
And now, when I think about
having a thought, I just don't.
The next time you see Jen, you're
going to look her in the eye,
and you're going to tell her.
- But-But what if
- Ah, ah.
That sounds a lot like thinking.
[SIGHS] Oh.
- Happy date.
- Happy date. [CHUCKLES]
So, where's the restaurant?
Should be here.
[WAITER WHISTLES]
Hmm.
You look for Little Italy?
Yeah.
It's there.
[CHATTERING]
Whoa.
- [HUFFS]
- How do we get in?
- I boop.
- Huh?
Ooh.
- He needs booping too. Por favor!
- [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
[GRUNTS]
Thank you!
[CRUNCHES]
[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]
[KASH] Ow! Is this
the void pile? [GROANS]
[SIGHS]
What are you wearing?
Oh, it's my new edgy look. I'm edgy now.
If there's an edge out there, I'm on
it. Not over it, but right up there.
Well, you looked fine before.
Why can't people just
stop messing with things?
[SMACKS LIPS] Look, I know you're
feeling uncertain about the future.
So, I have drawn up a super-casual
list of stuff we should do
and shouldn't do post-breakup
or, you know, whenever.
- A contract?
- Not a contract. [CHUCKLES]
A vibe check. A formal,
legally binding vibe check.
So, we're in agreement that
the social media announcement
shall take place on the
28th in the form of a story.
No use of emojis. Just plain text.
Sidebar. What about one broken heart?
- [SIGHS] What colour?
- Black.
That is classy. I will allow it.
Mm-hmm. [INHALES SHARPLY]
Things just really aren't that bad ♪
I just stay in my room too long ♪
But I finally got a
girlfriend and she's the bomb ♪
Hi, hello ♪
[PANTS]
Right, there's something
I have to tell you,
and I'm just going to
come right out with it.
I've stalled long enough.
So, yesterday, I'm in the shop
which is a building with four walls
and, of course as we know, a roof.
Eh, it-it was a grey day.
Maybe 12, 13 degrees Celsius.
And as I approached a customer,
putting one foot in front of
the other as is the fashion,
left, then right, then left and, uh,
as you might imagine,
followed by right again.
Jen, I know who I am.
[PANTS]
I'm, uh, your boyfriend.
- And that's all I want to be.
- [CHUCKLES]
[GASPS] Oh, hey, look.
That's how couples eat.
[PANTS] We should, um
Let's Yeah.
[PANTS, LAUGHS]
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS] Uh-uh.
- [MUMBLES, LAUGHS]
- [JEN LAUGHS]
Oh, now this is egregious.
Both parties may enter into a sexual act
with another partner or partners
no sooner than six
weeks post-separation.
Sexual acts include but are not limited
to fellatio, cunnilingus, penetration,
handjobs, fisting,
69ing, nipple stimulation,
touching with the intent of stimulation
and open-mouthed kissing
lasting more than 30 seconds.
Okay, okay.
Sexual interaction will be
permitted four weeks post-separation.
- Which is a good faith concession.
- With the exception of hand stuff.
- Over the jeans.
- No, it's got to be under.
Not to completion.
I can work with that.
Mmm.
Mmm. Hmm.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
'Kay. Clause two. Moving out.
I've suggested a very generous
eight-week search time,
because flat hunting in
London is horrendous and,
you're very bad with numbers.
Wait, you want me to move out?
Why am I the one moving out?
Well, I mean Well
- It's 'cause I have the penis, isn't it?
- No, no.
Well, I mean Yeah, but
No, but you broke up with
me. I'm the victim here.
It's not just moving
out. It's moving on.
- You're clinging to the past.
- No, I'm not.
Really? Then throw away just one thing.
- Just the pants.
- [KASH] No.
No, I forbid you to throw
anything out. And I'm not signing.
[PEOPLE LAUGHING, CHATTERING]
[SIGHS] Jesus, I'm starving.
Have the leftovers.
It's a lovely spaghetto.
One sec.
[BELL JINGLES]
[STORE EMPLOYEE] Hello.
[JEN] Hey. Ooh, some of these. Yes.
What else have we got?
[JEN CHATTERS]
- [STORE EMPLOYEE] Fabulous.
- [JEN] Thank you.

Mm-hmm. Oh.

Big no, big yes ♪
No in-between ♪
They want me to be happy ♪
[MUSIC STOPS]
Where are they? Where's my pants?
Oh, uh, Carrie put them in
one of her big bags and left.
She's taking my stuff to the void.
She's gonna throw it all into the
void, and then it'll be gone forever.

Hey! [PANTS]
- Those are my pants!
- Kash.
Now, under UK law, they are my property,
and I will not hesitate
to sue for damages.
- Kash.
- They have immense sentimental value and
I know.
I thought I could just
move forward, but
[SIGHS]
this is really sad.
Well, yeah, we broke up.
Yeah, but I did the breaking off.
I'm supposed to feel
new and free like a
[SIGHS] like a sexy spring lamb.
Well, it's sad when things end.
Even if your boyfriend
was terrible and dumb
and held you time captive to stop
you from breaking up with him.

So, we both

- [CHUCKLES]
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
I don't know why we're laughing.
Oh, we're going to be okay. [LAUGHS]
I lied to you. You lied
to me. Isn't lying bad?
Yes. Except when we do
it for a good reason.
Right!
No. Hmm.
I don't really care about
the pants. It's just
Well, it's just, at first, it's
me throwing away a pair of pants,
but then it's me moving out, and
then I stop getting invited to things,
and then you all forget about me.
You don't have to move. We
can figure something out.
[SIGHS]
Are you sure?
We can't live in the past.
[GRUNTS]
[ROCK MUSIC STARTS]
- [VOID RUMBLES]
- [MUSIC STOPS]
[CHUCKLES]
But why didn't you tell me?
I'm afraid of you.
Okay, but more than that.
And, uh, I'm scared it might ruin this.
And that's why you didn't tell me.
Which is a good thing because
We actually care enough
to lie to each other.
Do you know how much effort that
is to go to for a relationship?
Normally I don't even
travel outside of Zone 2.
- [SCOFFS] So really, this is a good thing.
- [LAUGHS]
No. No, no, no, no, no.
This is the worst thing
that has ever happened to me.
I hate it. I hate it
so much. Actually
Think I'm gonna be sick. [RETCHES]
They're coming.
It's okay. We both know.
Jen threw up.
- [GROANS]
- Hey, don't tell them that.
Why do I hate looking at you now?
My hair! [PANTS]
I-I forgot. Is it bad?
I'm definitely not your
boyfriend anymore, right?
Oh, my God, it's bad.
It's really bad,
Carrie. It's disgusting.
Honestly? The worst
thing I've ever seen.
[SIGHS]
Uh, turn back time. Fix it. Fix
it, fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it.
[SIGHS] Right, okay. It's been awhile.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Try
to push for a new PB.
Five minutes. [CLEARS THROAT, STRAINS]
[AUDIO DISTORTS]
[NORMAL AUDIO]
Maybe if I cut it more to even it out.
Do you think she's pretty? I swear,
I really don't care. I promise.
- [JIZZLORD] Yeah, she is.
- [JEN] Oh. Well. [CHUCKLES]
Why don't you just go
and marry her again then
if I'm so repulsive to you?
[JIZZLORD] You're pretty too.
Okay, so now I'll just cut
more on this side to even it up.
[JEN] Oh, you should write poetry.
- Well, that's new. [SIGHS]
- [CARRIE] Okay and now this side's shorter.
That's okay. I'll just cut it even more.
I think I can make it work.
Okay, give me the scissors.
