Michael has got an A for his geography project but he's not happy. Ben has been weaselling his way out of reading it - even though Susan, Nick and Abi have all done so. Meanwhile Nick is busy organising his love life. He has three girls on the go: Karen, Lisa and Monique. This requires him to divide his tokens of love (flowers and chocolates) into three.
Susan forces Ben to have a fatherly chat with Michael. Michael does most of the talking and tells Ben that he is "detached, selfish and sucks the joy out of everything".
Janey has left baby Kenzo with Susan for the evening, but Susan soon grows bored by the sleeping Kenzo and wakes him up. This turns out to be a mistake. Kenzo cries inconsolably until Nick magically manages to silence him.
Ben has tried to engage with Michael by buying a World War Two Red Cross truck model kit. Michael is not impressed. However he reveals a hitherto unknown interest in flying saucers and asks Ben to join him for UFO watch.
Up in Michael's bedroom Ben is bored out of his mind scanning the night skies. The vigil is only enlivened when Nick appears - out enjoying a stroll and cigarette on the roof.
Kenzo is still crying at bed time. Susan and Ben take it in turns to try and calm him before resorting to calling Nick in. On the positive side Nick shuts Kenzo up. On the negative side this means he will have to spend the night with Ben and Susan - in their bed.
In the morning Michael is still annoyed at Ben - saying that he not only hasn't read his geography project but he also didn't enjoy the UFO watch. To make up for it, Michael wants Ben to tell Susan he believes in UFOs. The whole family gather round as Ben announces that he thinks aliens are visiting earth.
Later on Michael attends a prize giving ceremony at his 'Diogenes Club'. Michael wins 1st prize to hearty applause. What for? For getting his dad to tell his mum he believes in UFOs.
