The licence holder may not fly as pilot in command of such an aeroplane carrying passengers unless within the preceding 90 days the holder has made at least three take-offs and three landings as the sole manipulator of the controls of an aeroplane of the same type or class
In the case you mention the licence holder does not have the required privileges to carry a passenger (who just happens to incidentally be a friend and pilot who is current for carrying passengers, but not an instructor).
The licence holder must complete the remaining landings as the sole manipulator of the controls either alone (PIC) or with a required crew member eg. an instructor on a training flight (in which case the licence holder would be PUT), or an examiner on a flight test (in which case the licence holder could be PICUS or PUT).
Much easier for the individual to go and frighten him/herself alone and be done with it...
