Genie in the House

Gnome Sweet Gnome (1x13)

:

Emma wants to buy an expensive pair of shoes, and decides not to get a job like Sophie has done, she will have a yard sale instead. Philip has been to the Garden Centre, and is smitten by Nanette, who works there. He has bought a garden gnome, not because he likes gnomes, he doesn't, but just to talk to Nanette. Philip left his wallet behind at the Garden Centre, and Nanette phones to say that she'll bring it to his house. Philip wants to impress her by putting the gnome in the front garden, but, unknown to him, Sophie smashes the gnome. Adil must replace it, but Sophie's wish seems not to work. Adil gets the wish wrong, and Philip begins to turn into a garden gnome instead. Nanette duly arrives, and Philip sets out to impress her. Sophie has convinced him that he should wear a hat to cover up his developing gnome ears, although a long white beard is harder to disguise. Adil tries to keep Nanette entertained while Philip attempts to disguise his transformation, but to no avail, and Philip is fully transformed into a garden gnome. Emma's yard sale isn't going well, and she decides she needs more things to sell. Of course, one of them happens to be the garden gnome she finds in the kitchen. Having got fed up with waiting for Philip, Nanette decides to leave, and spots the gnome on Emma's stall. Nanette turns out to something of a garden gnome enthusiast, and buys Philip for thirty pounds. The girls rush to buy him back, but Nanette is revealed as a gnome nutter, who talks to her gnome collection and even knits them clothes. The wish wears off, Philip transforms back into his real self just in time, and realises, also just in time, that Nanette is not for him. With Olivia Caffrey as Nanette. Written by Lee Pressman.
