Episode 1

Dossa and Joe Bailey are a typical working class couple, married for 40 years, living in a comfortable house in a comfortable suburb of Australia. When Joe retires after 40 years of undistinguished work in a nondescript factory everything changes, and both he and his wife find themselves spiraling downwards from a life of contentment into depression and discontentment.

Episode 3

Another session with the marriage guidance counsellor and Joe is convinced counsellor Claire is a 'fruit loop': "you're hostile to men, you have your own car and a moustache bigger than mine…" just as he suspects Robbo at work to be. Joe says everything has been fine since their last session, but Dossa has not been feeling well at all and the counsellor thinks their problems could have something to do with her illness. Dossa thinks Joe has passed his malaise on to her but Joe will have none of that—he thinks it was his devoted nursing that brought her back to health and there is nothing else wrong with her.
