Episode 2: Because Change Happenz

Starring Nigel Havers, Josie Lawrence and Mathew Baynton. Rupert Hardacre returns to his ad agency with a new outlook and a new soulmate. Rebekah Staton guest stars.

Rupert Hardacre (Nigel Havers) returns to his advertising agency a changed man, after six weeks in the wilderness. He has a new beard, a new outlook and a new soulmate - visionary artist Lake (Rebekah Staton).

For Amanda (Josie Lawrence), Joe (Mathew Baynton), and Teddy (Rasmus Hardiker), relief at his return soon turns to anxiety as Hardacre and Lake begin to remake the agency in their own image, adopting a more holistic approach to creativity.

As the rest of the team gradually warms to Lake, Joe finds himself increasingly isolated, and resolves to discover exactly what has happened to the Rupert Hardacre he thought he knew.
