Yes, he's woken up with a girl, a real girl, a real girl with great big wobbly knockers, and she just so happens to be Adrian Edmondson's wife, except they weren't married when this was recorded, so it's okay that Rick shagged her.
A girl took refuge in his bed, and now he's lying through his teeth like the poor sad git that he is, like someone who would need a dating agency or who would need to place an ad in a Lonely Hearts column.
You may have noticed several Bottom references during this intro, and that's no coincidence.
The last episode and this have so many moments that were later echoed in, or in some cases just replicated, in Bottom.
There's a case to be made that this is the period where Rick the student bridges the gap to Richard Richard, whether it's peeking at women asleep under bed covers, miming sexual acts behind them, lying about non-existent sexual conquests, objectifying women whilst presenting himself as a feminist, or just in general people crashing down through ceilings on large household items.
We also see the house time travel to medieval times, discover the woman Rick claims to have shagged is a killer, and get a high production value Dallas spoof that's revealed to be a dream a full two years before Dallas pulled the same trick.
What first aired 5th of June, 1984, with a really high production value Dallas spoof.
When I watched it for the rewatch, you know what it made me think of in terms of, like, just the look of, like, the grain and the lighting? It made me think of The A-Team for some reason.
