Hardacre’s ad agency find themselves competing for an unusual account.

Befriendr is a dating-style app designed to help lonely city-dwellers make friends.

Amanda recruits Joe as the most normal member of the agency, to accompany her to the Befriendr launch event – a chance to network, and maybe even make some new friends themselves.

Meanwhile, Hardacre and Teddy  – both banned from attending the event for not being normal enough – seek solace in each other’s company. 

Hardacre resolves to remake Teddy in his own image, teaching him how to be A Real Man.
