Press

Edith and Phil's former lovers send departure plans awry. An encounter with Edith's old boyfriend sets Phil's tetchiness gland twitching, while an appearance from Phil's former flame Desiree causes consternation for Edith. The only reconnection likely for manchild Roger is, he hopes, with his missing drone.
