Synopsis[]
Holly moves in with Doug and Carrie when she is evicted. Doug takes advantage of her by making her his "downstairs wife" for food and Carrie being his "upstairs wife" for sex.
Storyline[]
Holly has been kicked out of her apartment and Arthur lets her stay in the basement with him. At first Doug isn't too fond of having Holly around, but that changes when it turns out Holly, in contrast with Carrie, laughs at his jokes, makes him all the food he wants and never tells him off about something. Doug now has one woman downstairs for food and one woman upstairs for sex and has the time of his life.
