Episode 10

Dr Battista, an obsessively dedicated scientist, lives with his two daughters Kate and Bunny in Baltimore.

Kate has married her father's researcher Pyotr, in order for him to get a visa to stay.

Following a somewhat chaotic wedding ceremony and a dash by Pyotr to catch the liberator of their lab-mice - once they realised who was responsible - order has been restored at last.

Now the wedding celebrations can begin in earnest, with congratulations to the happy couple and a glimpse into what their future holds, despite their rather unconventional courtship.
