Stuart goes out in Long Beach after bonding with some construction workers who assure him the city's prospects for romance are good. Meanwhile, Jessica tells Wade how he can get Marion back even though they haven't spoken in a month.
Hello Ladies is loosely based on a 2011 stand-up routine and follows Merchant as an awkward, overly confident Englishman trying to date in Los Angeles - where his attempts to infiltrate the world of beautiful people are not successful.
The project, which The Office co-creator co-wrote with former Office writer-producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, stars the 6ft 7in Merchant as a gawky Englishman searching for the woman of his dreams in Los Angeles.
Half as charming as he thinks he is - and twice as desperate - he's obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people.
