Arthur and Robert, who both have an urgent need for cash, think they have the ideal solution to the problem.

The Funeral

The Aunt

Arthur plans to give himself a break from Maggie by asking her sister, Lorna, to stay. This will give him time to spend with his new girlfriend. He discovers that trying to out-manipulate Maggie causes more trouble than it is worth.

Episode 6

The Card Game

Arthur insists on leading his own life and asks some friends around for a game of cards. Maggie can't play cards, so suggests snakes and ladders instead. It isn't always a good idea to bring friends around to meet your mother, especially when she thinks one of them is a Russian spy.
