S1 E5: We open in the midst of a debaucherous right-wing party at a National Party supporter's extravagant home. The party is filled with predominantly 50+ year old caucasian folk, who are celebrating their mate, Robert Muldoon, who has just been elected as leader of the country. Muldoon chases a disinterested woman around the party before ending up in the pool with a bunch of other half naked men and women, who are pashing and sculling champagne from the bottle. We then head to Carolyn's new flat. She has moved in with Geraldine. Jimmy is looking after the kids at their house. Jimmy interrogates their daughter, Wendy, about other men who have visited the house when he's not there. Wendy confirms that Havili often visits their house when Jimmy isn't home. Jimmy's paranoia spikes to new heights. Meanwhile, The Panthers are mourning the attack on one of their troops, who is in Intensive Care after being assaulted by The Huns. Placing responsibility firmly on Will's shoulders, Melani takes over the leadership of The Panthers and demotes Will to menial tasks. Ostracised by his friends, Will does all that he can to win them back, but only makes things worse, until the point he gets so frustrated that he lashes out in a way that he later comes to regret. Also wound up and frustrated, Jimmy visits Geraldine's flat with the plan of forcing Carolyn and the kids to come home with him. When she rejects him, backed up by her flatmates and neighbour, Jimmy takes this as confirmation that she and Havili are having an affair and sets himself to take back control of the situation, at any cost.
