Episode 3

Having met in the police force over 20 years ago, Sam and Gary give new meaning to ‘Good Cop, Bad Cop'. At 60, Gary is a big softie who has always wanted the best for his children. However, it's becoming clear that he might have been too easy on them and his desire to indulge them as little princesses may have backfired.

Sam works full-time at their shared storage business, but she is also left to do everything around the house. Now, Sam thinks it's time for Gary to step up and learn what it means to run a household and get their teenage girls to finally take some responsibility and gain independence.

Once Sam goes on strike, Gary realises the extent of her never-ending workload. Despite saying he's keeping on top of it occasionally he lets his guard down to reveal he isn't coping without her. He also learns how much mess the girls create - most of it!

Meanwhile, Simone shares her immaculate home with her partner Michael and daughter Mia, but his messiness has got her joking about moving into her own granny annexe in the garden.

Michael is an ex-chef who loves to cook elaborate meals, but his cooking style results in a mess that Simone finds unbearable. And his passion for trainers and collecting all sorts of things - from old chairs to car batteries - has left Simone at breaking point.

She is convinced that Michael and Mia don't respect her desire for a cleaner home. Underneath all the banter the situation is getting her down, and she doesn't think Michael fully understands where things have gone wrong.

Michael starts off by laughing about the strike but as time goes on, he gets angry about what she's done and it doesn't sit right with him as he's pretty sure he does his fair share at home.But can they work through their difference of opinion and all start to see things from another perspective?
