Vod thinks a job in a pub is the answer to her money worries, while a heartbroken Howard seems to have developed a slight drinking problem. Oregon decides to set up a poetry competition in her name, cutting money for sports.
The housemates attend an interview with a careers adviser - to no avail. Afterwards Rosa tells Kingsley that she has a teen-age son Luca, who is not keen to go to university and asks Kingsley to change his mind. However Luca's persuasive argument against higher education only depresses Kingsley, who also gets punched when he tells Luca he is dating his mother.; Meanwhile Oregon tries to introduce cuts in the sports departments to endow a poetry prize in her name but meets with opposition whilst Josie helps Howard drown his sorrows in the pub where Vod is now working - though the job does not last after she is caught handing out free drinks to her friends.—don @ minifie-1
