Charisma

=Summary= While mending her leaking tap, Rigsby tells Miss Jones she has brought a touch of refinement to the house, what with shades on the bulbs and blue water in the toilet. Before leaving, he invites her to a wrestling match and a spot of supper afterwards, but she turns him down with a weak excuse about having to work late.

Upstairs, Alan and Philip moan about not being allowed to bring girls back to the room. Alan believes the only way around Rigsby is to pair him off with Miss Jones, even though the chances of that happening are minimal. When Rigsby turns up, and tells them Miss Jones has spurned him again, Alan offers some advice. He feels Rigsby needs a little charisma. and what Miss Jones really wants is a quiet evening in listening to Matt Munro. With the help of Phillip's medallion, Alan's LP and his relaxation pills, Rigsby feels ready for the challange, although what Alan forgot to tell him is that the pills will turn his water green!

With his shirt buttons undone to his navel, the 'medallion man' sways into Miss Jones's room and, with the pills beginning to kick in, he fails to notice he's put the record on at the wrong speed; as thye vocals struggle out of the record player, the evening turns into a failure.

In desperation Rigsby turns to Phillip for advice, and is gullible enough to fall for his tale, that burning the wood of the love tree in her prescence would soon have her falling for him. After plucking up enough courage to give it a try, Rigsby gets more than he bargained for, when Miss Jones ends up extinguishing his stick, drenching him in the process.

When Phillip arrives back at the house and, unaware that Rigsby's evening has been a complete failure, asks the sodden landlord whether he can bring a girl up to his room, he suffers the sharp end of Rigsby's tongue. =Sources=
