Joe wants to learn Italian and persuades Faith to let Hannah's room to an exchange student, preferably a boy with whom he can talk football but a girl, Gina, arrives instead. She hogs the bathroom and gets stranded in Brighton, requiring a midnight dash by Bill to bring her home. Then Hannah arrives, fed up with university and wanting her old room back. Fortunately a phone call from boyfriend Kevin sends her back to Liverpool whilst Gina tells Faith and Bill how wonderful they are compared to her own parents and leaves on good terms with them.
