The sinister "Daddy" gets his feet nicely under the table tonight so Dan feels he has no option but to leave home. He tries to retreat with dignity, saying he'll only take what he owns - but this means he's left with nothing: his coat was a hand-me-down and "Daddy" takes great pleasure in pointing out that his car is registered in his father's name. And so Dan marches out into the street with nothing but a tiny blue chair and, throughout the episode, he clings to it.

Homeless and alone, he's increasingly keen to emigrate to America, but the severe officials at the US Embassy are not impressed when Dan fills out visa forms unwashed, unshaven, and with that little blue chair. You must enter an address, they command, but he has none and so sneaks into the local all-night gym and starts living there. But this only makes things worse when he returns to give his address as "The 24 Hour Pump Zone".

Poor Dan. At least he has his little blue chair.
