The moment Sally has gone, Tom and Roy immediately start to miss having her around. In a bid to break out of their self confessed 'Sallyholic' dependency they decide to take up an evening class at the local college.
Far from taking up the next course in Kung Fu, Tom manages to bag himself a date with the Admissions Administrator, Joanna.
Just as Tom is getting ready for his date, an emergency call from Amber takes Tom away and he begs Roy to go in his place, explain the situation to Joanna and get the conversation going until he can get there. By the time Tom finally arrives Roy and Joanna are well acquainted and much to Tom's annoyance end up on a triple date. Tom and Roy decide to work together to charm Joanna in the hopes that she will choose one of them.
However, it's not long before the plan collapses and a battle of egos ensues as the boys try shamelessly to compete for Joanna's affections. Their attempts are thrown into disarray when Sally returns early from her break and is feeling lonely.
