Emma is on a diet, and Billy has to write a slogan for Diet Stuff. He hasn't, and the beautiful, haughty client is angry.

The team embarks on a mission to rid gin of its old-fashioned image and develop a dark campaign inspired by Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Working with solemn filmmaker Michael, who promises to produce a badly directed film for 'distinctiveness', the team comes up with the slogan: 'Loneliness, madness, misery and death, will all your life your companions be, Drink Gin.'
