Synopsis: Otis (Asa Butterfield) finds that offering sexual advice is more difficult than he thought so he and Maeve (Emma Mackey) try to find clients at a house party.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Maeve is playing loud music in her trailer when her neighbor Cynthia (Lisa Palfrey) knocks on the door. She is carrying a large longhair tabby cat named Jonathan in a baby holder on her chest. The cat is wearing a baby bonnet.
