 * -|Season 5=

Opening the front door, Colin is greeted by a girl who says that she must be at the wrong apartment. Correcting her, “flat”, Colin explains that in England apartments are called flats, and “trucks are lorries, sweaters are jumpers”. Saying that they now have all the terminology sorted, Colin says that the girl must be Spencer, before he introduces himself to her, “I’m Colin, Wren and Melissa’s flatmate”. Colin welcomes Spencer to London, and when Spencer says thank you, Colin mentions that he’ll be playing her host for the next 24 hours, “Wren and Melissa won’t be back until tomorrow night”. Spencer questions that her sister isn’t even here, to which Colin explains that Wren’s boss invited them to his country home in Kent. Saying he imagines that after her flight Spencer is a bit peckish, Colin questions how Spencer feels about stale biscuits, “I stole these from Michelle’s lunch box, I have twenty three of them. Children, not biscuits”. When Spencer looks up to Colin, Colin clarifies, “not my children, students”. Colin says that they should just start over, and walking over to him, Spencer says that she’s not hungry. Mentioning that Spencer’s come quite a way for an interview, “you must really have your heart set on Oxford”, Colin listens as Spencer says that she does. Colin then asks which college, and when Spencer questions him, Colin comments that there are multiple of them within the university, to which Spencer tells him she’s interested in a few of them. Spencer then says that she can’t access her phone’s data and she really needs to text her friends, before asking if Colin can please help. Taking Spencer’s phone, Colin comments that at the risk of sounding like a “nosey git”, he would suggest that in light of Spencer’s impending interview that she tuck away her mobile and pick up a course catalogue. After Spencer gives him a look, Colin says that she could also tell him to “bugger off”, before he passes her phone, with the data now turned on, back to her.

Arriving back at the flat, Colin finds Spencer scrambling through her luggage, “did you find a bed bug?” Spencer tells him no and that she’s just repacking, before she asks if she can borrow his laptop because she wants to change her flight. Saying she can, Colin tells Spencer to just let him put the food down. Spencer then says that perhaps Colin could call her a cab because she wants to go home, tonight, to which Colin questions that Spencer wants to leave before Melissa returns. Spencer insists that she really wants to go home, and calling out her name, “Spencer”, Colin tells her to take a moment. When Spencer says that she just needs to pack, Colin notes that she’s having a panic attack, but Spencer assures him that the way she’s acting is just how she packs. Colin asks what happened, and when Spencer exclaims for him to get out of her way, Colin puts a hand across her suitcase, “hey”. Having gained Spencer’s attention, Colin mentions that he teaches primary school and when one of his kids is having a bit of a day, “because a girl won’t share her crayons or boy ate the colour blue”, he takes them through a relaxation exercise. Listening as Spencer says that she didn’t eat a crayon, she’s just dealing with oversized toiletries, Colin takes Spencer’s hand, telling her to “humour me”. Colin tells Spencer to close her eyes and focus on her breath and going through the motions with her, Colin says to imagine the breath going deep into her belly, “surrounding all the nervous energy”, and letting it out. As Spencer calms down, Colin asks if she wants to talk about it, to which Spencer shakes her head, telling him no. Watching as Spencer goes back to packing, Colin asks if she can at least leave the bed bugs and let him make her something to eat.
