Mike and Jenny need to find somewhere to bury a body.
Greg and Kate have an argument about the useless stuff Greg insists on buying.
Susan tries to keep Roger calm, which isn’t easy, as everything winds him up.
Pete accidentally kills Linda's cat. He could confess, or try and cover it up. He decides on a cover-up.
