Rabid constituents and demented and disastrous Tinder dates have cast Richard into a new slough of despondency. And then, the one light at the end of the tunnel - an invitation to appear on a popular TV reality show - is extinguished, when he inadvertently publicises his highly confidential invitation in a late night tweet. Richard now faces a sea of ignominy as the producers of the TV show deny all knowledge of him, and the horrible suspicion occurs to him that someone may have been playing a cruel and deeply humiliating prank - leaving Richard in a state of complete and abject despair.
