Further details

Kate hopes she and Jonny didn't keep Janet awake with their noisy lovemaking in her house. Janet loses her temper, apologises and explains that she's nervous - there's a new boss starting at the bakery.

Louise pops round and agrees to walk Janet to work. Kate tells Jonny his friends hate her and Jonny tells her she's mad. Donna tells Gaz Kate's mad and she hates her. If Gaz splits Kate and Jonny up, Donna will enact a chapter from one of Gaz's dirty novels.

Louise walks Janet to work only to reveal she's the new boss! Jonny tells Kate that Gaz has said nice things about her. She agrees to try to get to know his friends. Gaz tells Munch that he has to split up Kate and Jonny. Louise gives the bakery a slide presentation.

Kelly has been primed by Louise to ask questions. When Gaz arrives at The Archer, Jonny suggests he get to know Kate by taking her out. Louise trains Kelly to do the job for her! Donna believes Gaz's plan to split up Kate and Jonny by shagging Kate is a rubbish idea and goes to Janet's.

Janet is miserable both because of Louise at work and because Jonny's happy with Kate. Donna assures her that Gaz will split Kate and Jonny up. Louise introduces a new range of baked goods including salad pasty. Gaz arrives for his date with Kate. Jonny thinks they'll have a great time.

Janet doesn't want Jonny to be hurt. Louise asks if Jonny's not worried that Kate's on a date with Gaz. Jonny trusts Gaz but Donna appears not to and leaves. Gaz comes on to Kate. She's furious, as is Donna, who arrives and throws a bucket of water over Gaz's head.

Janet and Jonny talk. Kate storms in saying that Gaz tried it on, she's sick of all Jonny's friends and then walks out. She says his friends are morons and she can't take them any more. Jonny returns saying he's dumped Kate. He tucks into Louise's new seafood medley pasty.

Donna returns to her flat, followed by Gaz with the bucket on his head. Janet calls with the news about Jonny and Kate. Donna tells Gaz that his plan worked. Gaz wants to claim his reward. Donna remembers they have no condoms but Gaz bought some in preparation for his date - for which he receives a beating from Donna and her sword!
