Rhona asks Pierce if he's avoiding her. She feels bad when Pierce assures her he only slept in the spare room as he was working late.

Lawrence suggests she takes Chrissie's mind off things so Rebecca persuades reluctant Chrissie to go out for dinner. Robert isn't happy when he finds Nicola tidying the office, and refuses to implement changes in the business. Megan is annoyed that Charity and Chas won't give her clients a VIP section of the pub but they are soon distracted by a video of the strippers. Rhona asks Bob what he thinks of the hunk night and questions if he thinks it objectifies men. Bob insists men want to be objectified and decides he might nip in during the performance.
