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

Carole's 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 to "do anything Emma tells you to do." 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.
