Leonard and Hungry Paul

Hungry Paul, content with the size of his universe, is pushed by his mother to volunteer at a hospital. Meanwhile, Leonard’s new colleague makes him smile for the first time in weeks.

With Shelley on his mind, Leonard decides to simply talk to her. As he tries to overcome his nerves, Mark Baxter asks her out, and though she declines, Leonard is disheartened.

During his shift as a casual postman, Hungry Paul delivers a letter to himself with good news. Leonard successfully asks Shelley to lunch, and they spend an hour together.

After a successful first date, Leonard is head over heels for Shelley, but is unnerved when he hears she is going to the cinema with a man called Patrick that evening.

Leonard gets positive feedback on his new children’s book proposal. Encouraged, he asks Shelley to go on another date. Meanwhile, Hungry Paul attends an unusual job interview.
