Further details
Bex moves in with her sister - just as Murray arrives with some news: he has quit his job in order to focus on their marriage. But he is quickly disappointed by Bex's response.
A downbeat Murray goes back to work where Emma voices her sadness that he is leaving. She invites him out for drinks with the team, but at the pub Murray finds himself alone with Emma. Meanwhile, Bex arrives home to make amends with Murray but Grant answers the door and lets slip that Murray is out with Emma.
The following morning, Murray wakes up in Emma's flat with a sore head and totally naked. He has no memory of what's happened and leaves after an embarrassing encounter.
Don and Paula come up with a cunning plan to reunite Murray and Bex - but it backfires, and the pair end up arguing over who should keep Barney the dog. A triumphant Murray leaves with Barney, but quickly loses him. After calling Bex they desperately search for Barney, but with no sign of the dog they are forced to give up the search.
They return to the car to find Barney there, as happy as Larry. But will their reunion with Barney be enough to reunite them as a couple?
