When Claire invites a mysterious work colleague into her home, Jonathan worries that Spencer will end up with a new Dad. Meanwhile Dan and Courtney try to have a romantic night in.

Further details

Claire seems flustered as she picks Spencer up from Dan and Courtney's, but Jonathan is more distracted by them getting into an unknown car driven by a mysterious man.

Meanwhile Dan and Courtney are planning a date night and are keen for Jonathan to leave for his evening speed-awareness session.

A worried Jonathan rings Spencer to discover that a mysterious man, now named 'Steve', is cooking them a curry, causing Jonathan to drive over and spy on the house. Jonathan fears Steve is a romantic threat - and starts to project his worries onto Spencer.
