Jack investigates the sewage line

Jack emerges from the house and briefly tolerates small talk with Alex until there’s a pause, and he sighs “So… this is awkward”. Jack then asks if there’s a “challenge” for him, and Alex has to point out that there’s a “task” for him next to the door.

Having identified the doorbell camera, his first question is whether it can be taken off the wall. He’s then seen removing the doorbell with a drill, before bending down to remove the cover from the sewage line immediately outside the house.

Jack then points the camera at the toilet window, and asks Alex (who is inside) what he’d had for dinner last night. Alex asks Jack if he wants to see what he’d eaten, and then proceeds to flush a whole, peeled banana down the toilet, while Jack films it passing through the open sewer line below, and laughs to himself. After confirming with Alex that it was a banana, Jack tells him that he’s not sure his digestive system is working very efficiently. Alex then flushes a crème caramel down the toilet, making Jack laugh again, before he incorrectly identifies it as an omelette. Jack then tells Alex that it’s almost as if he never actually chews his food.

At the end of his attempt, Jack insists that his footage had been remarkable, and confesses that he’d always wanted to watch stuff being flushed into the sewer from a toilet, to see how it works.

In the studio, Greg acknowledges that Jack’s footage fits the brief, and Jack shares that he likes to see and demonstrate how things work, and feels that he has effectively demonstrated “how a house works”. This prompts Greg to reveal that he’s once looked inside his family’s septic tank, to find it clogged with “Multicoloured condoms, shit, and frogs”.

Ultimately, Greg decides to award Jack 4 points.
