Back is the first episode of Series Two of Spaced.

Daisy returns from a trip to Asia pursued by a sinister government agency. To make matters worse, Tim seems to have found himself a new flatmate.
Synopsis[]
Daisy returns from her travels in Asia to find Mike has been kicked out of his mothers house and is now living in her room. Sharing her stories of her travels, Daisy reveals she has purchased a large video camera and has been recording her journey with the aim of publishing a video travelogue.
Jetlagged and despondent about her return to her humdrum life, Tim and Mike take Daisy to the pub but are interrupted by two sinister government agents who intend to take Daisy into custody for an unspecified crime. Daisy fights them off with martial arts skills she seemingly acquired while in Asia, and they return home only to find the agents have beaten them to it.
The agents reveal that they have Daisy's accomplice, an enigmatic stranger named Steven Edwards whom she met on the way home, in custody and they intend to take her in too. Just as they are about to take her away, Marsha arrives and reveals the answers; she has been watching Daisy's travelogue tapes and has discovered that Steven actually swapped bags with her at the airport, so Daisy unwittingly carried illegal goods through customs. The agents take the tape exonerating Daisy as evidence and leave, while Mike is quickly relocated to the sofa.
