Freddie and Stuart invite Ash and his new girlfriend Chloe to dinner. Whilst infrequent acting work has been getting Freddie down, things are looking up for Ash who has fallen in love with what seems to be the perfect woman. Or is she?
As the evening progresses, Chloe's habits stop seeming so sweet and tensions mount over the meal. Violet, meanwhile, is having difficulty with her lover in Buenos Aires.
