Philip tries to get the girls to look after Uncle Max's new dog, but Emma is planning on taking Sophie on a blind date. Adil, who has been told to watch the dog, misunderstands Emma instructions on how to treat the dog, and turns the dog not into a 'good boy', but into an ordinary boy, and Sophie thinks the dog turned boy is her blind date. She also thinks he's cute. Philip and Max are appearing on the Shopping Channel, promoting the new Max Baxter Hand Spa. They have instructed Adil to phone in and order twenty five of them to get things going. He takes advantage of the channel's 'special offer', and buys the entire stock. Sophie is rather taken by her new 'boyfriend', who likes his tummy being tickled, but isn't allowed on the sofa. He also likes to go walkies, as long as there are lamp posts on the way. Emma realises what Adil has done, but she can't bring herself to tell Sophie. Meanwhile, it's discovered that the Hand Spas turn everyone's hands green, and they have to be recalled. Except that since he bought up the entire stock, Adil has saved fortuitously saved Max from ruin. Sophie eventually realises that a boyfriend who chases squirrels in the park isn't really her type, and ends their 'relationship.' Adil turns Nev back into a dog, but not necessarily the right dog. With Harry Lloyd as Nev. Written by Grant Cathro. Directed by Phil Ox.
