Further details

Hardacre's ad agency find themselves competing for an unusual account - Befriendr, a dating-style app designed to help lonely city-dwellers make friends.

Amanda recruits Joe, as the most normal member of the agency, to accompany her to the Befriendr launch event - a chance to network, and maybe even make some new friends themselves. Meanwhile Hardacre and Teddy - both banned from attending the event for not being normal enough - seek solace in each other's company. Hardacre resolves to remake Teddy in his own image, teaching him how to be A Real Man.
