Geoffrey and beryl have a huge fall out... but can't seem to get away from each other when they accidentally end up at the same party.
Beryl wants Geoffrey to start looking and acting older... but the moustache and the cardigan she suggests make him look like an old married man.
In order to persuade Geoffrey hw wonderful married life is, Beryl takes hom on a visit to her friend Sandra Appleton... but Sandra and her husband Neville seem anything but happy.

Beryl's mother starts advising her daughter on how to attract Geoffrey, but the situation proves impossible when the majority of the time she spends with him is at home under the watchful gaze of her mother. The pair end up back together realising that they always want different things at the same time, but luckily that's always been the case and they know it's never stopped them before.
Beryl is confused about how she wants Geoffrey to treat her, thinking a man should dominate a relationship. Geoffrey wants to keep Beryl happy and will go along with whatever she wants. Beryl spends the episode ordering Geoffrey to order her about, objects with whatever choices he then makes for her, and they both end up doing what she wants anyway while Geoffrey gets more and more confused.
Ex-partners Beryl and Geoffrey try to convince themselves they don't care about each other... but after a chance meeting where they are obviously both smitten they end up getting back together again.
