Never mix business and pleasure

This weeks cold-open apocalist item comes from Xaviers list: Zorbing with Evie.

Only, while Xaviers rolling across the grass in a huge transparent globe, Evie is not present.

Plus, theres the added bonus of getting to spend all day together.

Oh, just you wait, kids.

Anyway, back to work.

Evie feels like if they actually did work they might be more productive.

Shes smart that one.

But, Xaviers not one for hard work.

They also happen to finish packaging the boxes faster than theyve ever done it before.

Deirdre is mad and tells Evie to fire him.

The employees scramble to their feet, but Xavier says that thats illegal and they sit back down.

The war has just begun.

Soon a picket line is up, and Evie cant cross it.

She wants to negotiate, but Xavier tells her she has to pick a side.

Hanks worried about picking sides too, while Deirdre is only interested in seducing him into stopping the protest.

(Hasnt that been the theme of every episode so far?)

Here comes Deirdre with a solution, thank goodness.

Shes finding new workers to replace the current ones.

Ah, not the greatest solution.

Theres aHakacoming, ladies and gentleman.

Try and contain your excitement.

Theyre ready to partake in the Maori traditional war dance/challenge: the Haka.

Let the war cries ring out!

And so, management and trade workers switch jobs temporarily in a bid to better understand one another.

With all problems solved (apart from the impending apocalypse) the lovebirds zorb happily off into the sunset.

Whats going on with Kareema?

She and Sofia are still hooking up, despite the fact Sofias engaged to Kareemas brother.
