Further details
Leo gets a job as a dispatch rider and more than meets his match in new prankster-loving boss, Kat. Pam invites Peggy over for dinner now that they're 'virtually in-laws', with the catering to be provided by Tony's café.
James is distracted when Anji presents him with some life-changing news and Tony finds himself having to improvise a rather more modest meal.
When Charlie gets thrown out of his lodgings, Pam plays Trans Samaritan and offers him Leo's room. Judy and Leo go on a double date with Jackie and Dean... and Charlie. If Dean had a ton of questions to ask about Judy, he has a whole lot more when he discovers that Charlie is trans too.

Press
The gentle sitcom about an age-gap romance between Leo and transgender fiance Judy trundles on. This week, Judy's friend Charlie finds himself without a place to stay, so Pam lets him in - a decision she soon comes to regret. Elsewhere, Peggy begins planning a Christmas-themed wedding for the couple and Anji has some surprising news for James. Good-natured stuff, but a sitcom this groundbreaking in terms of theme could be a little less predictable in content.
