Mike & Molly

Molly, the birthday girl, puts together a list of favours she hopes to have granted on her special day. Meanwhile, Victoria offers her drug dealer a place to stay at the house while his own is being fumigated for the weekend.

Molly’s Birthday is a programme presented in the form of an episode, centred on a single celebratory occasion. The format follows a straightforward narrative style, focusing on the events that unfold around the titular character’s special day. It is positioned as a self‑contained story rather than a serial, giving viewers a clear snapshot of the birthday proceedings. The core of the episode sees Molly, the birthday girl, drafting a detailed list of favours she would like to have carried out on her big day. She records each request with the hope that they will be met, turning her birthday into a personalised agenda of wishes. This list becomes a focal point for the day’s activities, guiding the actions of those around her as they attempt to satisfy the items she has noted. In a parallel thread, Victoria extends an invitation to her drug dealer, asking him to stay at her house while his own residence undergoes fumigation. The arrangement is temporary, providing him with a place to remain during the period when his home is being treated. This accommodation is offered specifically because his house is unavailable, linking his stay directly to the fumigation process.
