Publicist to the stars Hope van der Boom (Julia Zemiro), briefs Alex before he interviews actor, sex-symbol and family man Oliver Barry (Sullivan Stapleton). The interview is awkward and uncomfortable, despite the fact that Alex and Oliver share a birthday. But soon after, Alex and Bob find themselves providing refuge for Oliver Barry who is on the run from a bunch of paps - one of which he found hiding in his hotel room wardrobe.
That night, Rita, keen to make up with Alex after the Wasp Warneke debacle, climbs through his window and into his bed. The only problem is Alex lent his bed to the besieged Oliver. Rita is obliged to take full advantage of the mix-up, much to Alex's despair. Next day the editor (Kim Gyngell) encourages Alex to document family man Oliver's shenanigans in his column. Although excited by this prospect, Alex can't help feeling depressed about Rita. He visits Dr James who diagnoses him as having a broken heart and prescribes a medicinal visit to a strip club, where Alex's circumstances inevitably go from bad to worse.
