Notes
- When this originally aired, there was no title card, I didn’t find out the actual episode title (properly) until I got the DVD many years later.
- The incompetence of Renee from the last episode is immediately glossed over. She’s fully integrated after a single episode.
- We find out Janice’s maiden name in this episode – Miller.

compounds Gareth's stress about small talk. It's a surprisingly simple concept, but it's super funny. There's also a bit where Janice & Gareth sleep together which complicates the divorce stuff. Funny ass episode, IMO. pic.twitter.com/ivj8OLy2M5
