John Marx and Venus Hoy find themselves in a living situation that is new to both of them. New to Marx because he was used to living with his girlfriend Kelly, who recently left him for another man with a flashier lifestyle. New to Venus because she's never lived with just one man before - housemate or otherwise. It's a rocky road the first month after Kelly moved out. Especially for Venus, who can't understand why Marx is still so down in the dumps over such a shallow and manipulative woman. Not that she'd ever say that to Marx. Surely after a full month of moping around the house over a failed relationship a person should be getting back to the land of the living, right? (25 x 5 min)
