Mr. Appleby is a man who lives a strict and orderly life. He is a middle-aged man who works at an insurance company and is known for his punctuality and adherence to rules. He has a routine that he follows every day, which includes returning home at exactly the same time, eating the same meals, and watching the same TV programs.

One day, Mr. Appleby's routine is disrupted when he is given a promotion and moved to a new office. His new office is on the opposite side of town and requires him to take a different route to work. At first, Mr. Appleby is hesitant to break his routine, but he eventually adjusts and begins to enjoy the change of scenery.

One day, while on his way home from work, Mr. Appleby sees a young woman in distress. The woman is trying to change a tire, but she is struggling. Mr. Appleby stops to help her and, in doing so, breaks his routine once again. The woman invites Mr. Appleby into her home to thank him for his help and they strike up a conversation.

As Mr. Appleby gets to know the woman, he begins to realize that his life has been incredibly limited and boring. He has followed the same routine for so long that he has never allowed himself to experience anything new or exciting. He begins to wonder if there is more to life than the routine he has created for himself.

As Mr. Appleby contemplates his life, strange things begin to happen around him. He starts to see things that shouldn't be there and hears strange noises. He becomes convinced that he is going insane and seeks help from a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist, however, is unable to find anything wrong with Mr. Appleby and suggests that he may just be experiencing stress.

As the strange occurrences continue, Mr. Appleby becomes increasingly paranoid. He starts to suspect that his coworkers are out to get him and that everyone is trying to undermine his routine. He becomes obsessed with finding out the cause of his troubles and begins to investigate the young woman who he helped change her tire.

Mr. Appleby's investigation leads him to a shocking discovery that forces him to question everything he thought he knew about his life. He realizes that his orderly world is not what it seems and that he may have been living a lie for years. As Mr. Appleby tries to come to terms with this realization, he is forced to make a difficult decision that will change his life forever.

Overall, "The Orderly World of Mr Appleby" is an intriguing episode that explores themes of routine, conformity, and the desire for something more.
