Brief[]

6a00e553cf4fe68834012876bddd17970c-320wi

Jez frustrated with Mark being sick on party day.

Mark comes down with a horrible stomach flu on the same day that Jeremy plans on throwing a shrooms party at the flat, which his crush and ex-girlfriend Big Suze plans on attending. However, he needs to somehow remove Mark from the flat and get the bathroom door fixed after Super Hans broke it down.

Summary[]

Jeremy brings flowers to Suze's work and woos her into attending a magic mushrooms party at his place. Suze is initially apprehensive, deeming it "a bit scary," but she then recants, stating that if it's something she is scared of doing then that's the exact thing she should be doing.

A moment later, Mark enters the apartment, sick as a dog. Jeremy is none too pleased about this as he believes Mark's presence in the apartment will kill the vibe of his shrooming party, to be held later that evening. Jeremy selfishly tries to get Mark to attend his planned business trip anyway, in an attempt to "remove" his flatmate from the situation, but to no avail. Mark insists on staying home in his pants.

Mark then opens the door to his bedroom, only to find Super Hans in it, having sex with an a young woman. Furious, Mark lambasts Jeremy for allowing this to happen. Hans then visits the bathroom, in which he gets locked in. In a fit of claustrophobia, he kicks the door off its hinges.

Jeremy attempts to figure out a short term solution for the door and attempts to staple a duvet to the frame.

A carpenter is then called in to fix the door, but Mark fears that the carpenter is taking advantage of their hospitality, as he is calling his therapist and going to see his ex-wife even though they are paying him by the hour.

When Mark is invited to a conference in Frankfurt, he is reluctant to go because he's sick, but Jeremy forces him to go so that he won't be around for the party. Mark's plane is delayed for 7 AM the next morning, so he stays home. When Jeremy tells him there is going to be a magic mushrooms party, Mark is opposed to the idea.

Jessica Claire as Hans GF2

Hans' girlfriend is more than supportive.

Meanwhile, when Jeremy "commands" the carpenter to fix the door instead of doing other things, the carpenter breaks down the door again and leaves. To get Mark out of the way, Jeremy poisons him with cold medicine so he falls asleep.

Mark ends up waking up in the middle of the shrooming party, where Jeremy is close to making his move with Big Suze. Mark needs to poo, but Jeremy has locked him in his room so he can't get to the bathroom. Mark is close to pooping out the window, but eventually calls Alan, who rescues him. However, when Johnson discovers how sick Mark is, he tells him he is no longer allowed to go to Frankfurt. In the end, Johnson, Jeremy and Big Suze all end up in the empty bathroom doorway disgusted as they watch Mark poo.
