Series 1, Episode 2 - The Seduction

A rat catcher comes to the flat. Moz tells people he and Nicki have split up, then tries to seduce China after a night out clubbing... but his plans are thwarted when the rat re-appears.

Further details

Moz tries to get the ratcatcher to come around and get rid of the rats so that Nicki will come back. Cartoon Head, however, has his own ideas about how to get rid of them!

Moz has some new gear but it's not as good quality as the stuff that Paul reclaimed and his clients aren't happy.

Craig keeps stalking Moz to buy some gear but Moz isn't interested in customers apart from his regulars after the confrontation with Paul.

Moz arranges to meet China at a nightclub where his best mate Kuldip is DJing. China, Asia and Daniel all come back to Moz's bedsit afterwards. Asia leaves with Daniel, leaving China alone with Moz. Moz is overjoyed to have some time alone with China but will China feel the same?
