Premise
The episode begins with Edward trying to install analogue television into Melanie's room. However, the antenna he is using is very old and breaks when he tries to fix it onto Melanie's television. Both of them feel disappointed, so Vivienne insists that they go to an electrical retail shop to get a new one.

When they get there, Vivienne notices that all the antennas are sold out, but one of the shop assistants tells her that more are coming in less than ten minutes. The three of them patiently wait for a long time, but when the delivery gets held up, they begin to lose their patience. Edward tells Melanie to sit down somewhere, and when she does, another of the shop assistants introduces himself to her, and asks what she does in her life.

Melanie tells him about her typical day, which is told by a dream sequence. By the time she is finished telling him, Vivienne informs her that the antennas have arrived, and lets her choose one. Once she does, the shop assistant secretly gives her a discount. Once they head home, they try out the antenna, which successfully works.
