Injured and 'uncool', Rachel's sent home by Carabine and joins Tom and Ben for a rare day off, but far from relaxing she's quickly helping Tom record a dance anthem using a bleepy remote control.

Ben's managed to transport himself deep in to the realms of his subconscious where bizarre spirit guides, who look suspiciously like his flatmates, help him achieve enlightenment.

Matthew's been tasked with transforming the office vibe of Carabine Promotions but only manages to transform himself, as he attempts to be as rad as Awesome-Sauce radio star DJ Ribby.

For all three Badults the road to 'cool' makes for a fantastical journey of enlightenment, featuring spiders, scooters, centaurs, wet suits, hairy monks, chewable vitamin C and a handy poster on the wall.
