Tom and Hal are back at work and Tom is complaining because Hal has been made acting manager. Hal believes its temporary until Patsy returns but Tom is not in the least bit calmed by this and says that until Patsy returns, Hal will be giving him orders. Tom threatens to walk out and reminds Hal that its the full moon but Hal says that he cannot walk out because he has already scheduled him the night out. Larry Crysler walks in and interrupts their conversation and asks about lighting choice because it seems that he has a speaking engagement there that night. Larry begins doing his speech.
Larry is using the bathroom and Hal approaches and introduces himself. Tom asks for an autograph and says that its great that Larry is famous.
Dominic smashes a radio after listening to the secretary of state talking about cuts. Clearly, the man is still very much unhinged.
Back at home, Tom tells Alex that Hal has a girlfriend and then clarifies to say that Hal is visiting a girl. Hal says that its simply an acquaintance, nothing more. Alex says, "an acquaintance with the Lady Mary, surely thats prison slang." Tom reminds Hal that he is not to hang around anyone with fangs but Hal assures Tom that the Lady Mary is a ghost who died some years ago. Alex is surprised that Hal knows another female ghost and suggests that the two would get along. Hal is not keen on this and calls Lady Mary fragile and suggests that Alex is capable of corrupting Keith Richards.
Hal is visiting with Lady Mary, when Alex appears and introduces herself. Hal quickly drags her away and she says that she has no one to talk to about ghost stuff. Hal reluctantly introduces Alex. Lady Mary assumes that Hal and Alex are a couple but Alex and Hal make it clear very quickly that there is nothing between them. Hal apologizes for Alex and she replies that Alex has a boisterous charm and that she wishes her finishing school was still open. The Lady Mary quickly dismisses Hal and sets about chatting with Alex. As soon as Hal is gone, the Lady Mary drops her 18th century persona and says that it bores her to death.
Back at the hotel Larry Crysler is busy taking food off of the tables. Hal approaches and says that he thought Larry would be leaving today but Larry replies that his management company negotiated for him to stay there for a week. Hal asks if Larry is going out tonight and then informs him that he is to vacate his room by tomorrow morning, as Larry continues to pack food.
The Lady Mary and Alex head off to a club and Alex says that she and Hal had a date once and then it didnt go to well. The Lady Mary keeps touching peoples heads so that she can read their minds. Alex points out that Lady Mary has clearly changed over the years. Lady Mary says that she reads, watches tv, and has tried to keep up with the world. Lady Mary instigates a fight between two patrons as Alex watches.
Larry is coming down the stairs when he runs into Tom.
Back at the club, Mary is touching people who are in the bathroom having sex. She encourages Alex to join saying that she is going to miss it but Alex says no thanks. When the man starts to orgasm, so does Lady Mary.
The next morning, Larry returns wearing a dress and he claims to have had a crazy night but Tom tells him that he is a werewolf as well. Tom says that though he is a werewolf that he has never been anywhere posh like Larry. Tom lets it slip that he lives in a house with people and Larry wants to know if the people know what they are. When Tom says yes, Larry begins to chatter about the secret to his success and then asks how big the house he lives in is.
Hal is working on a puzzle, when Alex tells him that they need to have a conversation about Mary. When Hal reminds Alex that he told her that Mary would be dull, Alex replies, "dull is not the word I would use, crazy sort of bat shit shocking is more the flavour. Mary is not the person you think she is. The whole posh totty thing is just an act." Hal asks why on earth Mary would do this and Alex replies, "I dont know and I dont care but what Im worried about is the fact that she has been stuck her for two hundred years and its turned her into a total frothing lune. Is that whats going to happen to me?" Hal assures Alex that even if she doesnt pass over for awhile, he is certain that she will cope with it because Alex and Mary are completely different people. Alex points out that Mary had a thing with Hal died and then got stuck there as a ghost.
Larry shows up at the apartment and Tom introduces him to everyone as a werewolf. Tom says that Larry is going to teach him how to become a successful werewolf and asks Hal how he feels about that. Larry asks if Hal is a werewolf as well and Hal says that he is a vampire and Alex says that she is a ghost. Larry doesnt take this seriously and believes that Hal is joking. Why in the world he would have trouble believing in ghosts when he himself is a werewolf is beyond me. When Alex points out that Larry brought along a suitcase, Larry says that hes tutoring can be extensive and that he thought that rather than go back and forth, he would just stay there for awhile. Hal says, "great the more the merrier," but Tom jumps in and says, "youre not the boss of me here. I can do what I want."
Upstairs Larry hands Tom a book and tells him that this is his new bible. Hal talks about how he and McNair were never really separated and that McNair protected him from the world. Larry then takes off his suit and hands it to Tom, saying that the clothes make the man. Larry then asks Tom to lend him one hundred and fifty pounds because he has a cash flow problem and Tom agrees to help, though he makes it clear that its just a loan.
Tom shows up at work in Larrys jacket and tells Hal that is there to congratulate him on his new position as manager. Tom pulls a card out of his pocket, which says "Tom McNair inc", and Hal points out that there should be a phone number or an email on it. Tom takes it back and says that he will call Hal and adds that there is a new player in town. Tom then walks off and starts to shmoose with people. Back in the car, Larry instructs Tom to bash in the car window of a BMW. It seems that the car now belongs to Larrys ex wife and he is bitter about how the relationship ended and the divorce settlement which saw most of Larrys assets get transferred to her. When Tom resists, Larry suggests that he is pushing Tom to fast and then sends Tom to let the air out of all of the tires.
Lady Mary and Alex are talking about her life. Mary says that she goes off and has adventures and then makes sure that she is back on time for Hal. Alex asks about Marys unfinished business and Mary says that its all sorted out and that she has had loads of doors appear, she just turns them all down. When Alex asks why, Mary says that Hal needs her though he has Alex and others, she and Hal have something special. Mary believes that Hal seeing her, keeps Hal clean because she was his last victim. Alex asks if this is what Hal told her and then quickly adds that its not her business and that all of these lies are not healthy. Alex suggests that Mary tell Hal who she really is and Mary asks what if Hal doesnt like the new her. Alex then suggests that Mary come with her to see her world.
