Synopsis

Tyler has a French exchange student, Lawrence, coming to stay at the farm for a week, and all the ladies of the manor are excited as Lawrence is said to be a good looking young man. However, when the student arrives, the exchange student turns out to be a girl called Lawrence, and then the men of the farm start to get excited. This is especially so for Tyler and Boycie, who are both being seduced by Lawrence (much to the disgust of Beth and Marlene). Marlene eventually learns that Lawrence was the reason the husband and wife of her previous exchange family separated and that she has a habit of seducing men out of boredom, comparing them to toys. Marlene sends Lawrence home and warns her to never contact Tyler again, though Lawrence theorises that Marlene figured her out due to having lived a similar lifestyle in her youth. Tyler apologises to Beth and asks her to marry him; she accepts, until she finds out the ring he gave her was a fake that Marlene received from someone back in the 1960s.
