Simon has a number of problems to contend with. Derek is using the Eye-catchers office as a bedroom due to his fear of spiders at home; his wife Muriel is making him confront his fear by placing spiders near him. Derek has now moved into the office to get away from them. Simon and Samantha quarrel about how late Samantha comes home late from a party. Samantha is tired of living by Simon's rules and goes to move out and live with Nell. Nell is not pleased when she has a visitor and does not want Samantha there. She has to stay at the Eye-catchers office too. Also, Simon is being pursued by a widow- Mrs White. She is let into the house by Isobel after a Simon had had an argument with her over Samantha. In a desperate attempt to escape from Mrs White, Simon climbs out of the window and flees to the Eye-catchers office and confides to Derek about why he is so hard on Samantha. Samantha, having stayed there too, overhears and the arguments are forgotten.
