Larry sends a telegram from Athens announcing that he has a friend coming to stay - Prince Jeejeebuoy. Louisa immediately begins to clean the house in preparation for his arrival, whilst Spiros offers to pick up some champagne. However, Larry does not stop at just inviting Prince Jeejeebuoy to the house, he also extends the invite to a desperate and drunken Captain Creech. Louisa is furious, but allows Creech to stay for a few days upon Jeejee's advice. Concerned about Gerry's education, Louisa seeks advice from Theo.
