Carole sometimes hypnotizes her willing husband Dan, suggesting that he become even easier to hypnotize and more unthinkingly obedient each time.

Carole’s plain and overweight friend Emma has recently moved house and has a lot of work to do. Carole arranges to ‘lend’ Dan to Emma for the day, giving him the hypnotic instruction that “all you want to do is obey Emma's orders” Dan finds himself dazedly ringing Emma’s doorbell on a warm summer morning. Emma answers the door with a smirk, wearing sweatpants and flip-flops.
