Ep 3. France

Eddie and Patsy are off to France! Eddie is hoping to escape her mundane life in London and experience French culture, while Patsy is more focused on finding a rich French man to take care of her. Upon arrival, Eddie is immediately disillusioned with the country, finding the people rude and the culture stuffy. Patsy, on the other hand, is having the time of her life, flirting with everyone she meets and getting free champagne at every turn.

Their trip takes a turn for the worse when they accidentally leave Saffron, Eddie’s teenage daughter, at the airport. They spend the entire episode frantically trying to get in touch with her and figure out a way to bring her to France. Along the way, they encounter a variety of French characters, including a rude taxi driver and a flirtatious hotel clerk.

As Eddie and Patsy try to navigate the language barrier and their own incompetence, they end up getting into a series of hilarious mishaps. They accidentally order a plate of snails, which they assume are just really small potatoes, and end up chasing them around the table. Later, they get lost in the French countryside and end up stranded in a cow field.

Despite the chaos, Eddie and Patsy manage to make the most of their trip to France. Eddie finally starts to appreciate the beauty of the country when she visits the Palace of Versailles, and Patsy finds herself a stylish French man to flirt with. In the end, they are reunited with Saffron and head back to London, exhausted but happy.
