Daniel and Cherry both wake in their respective beds feeling guilty about their infidelity and there's tension when Cherry, Jimmi, Daniel and Zara bump into each other at work. Jimmi still feels awkward about the dinner party and asks a paranoid Cherry whether he should speak to Daniel, but she puts him off the idea. Wracked with guilt, Cherry also tries to avoid Zara, as she seeks Daniel out and forces him to talk. Cherry's desperate to confess, but Daniel begs her not to. He spends the rest of the day paranoid that she will tell Zara, but when he confronts her as they leave he convinces her to keep it to herself. Meanwhile, Imogen harasses Karen to give her money for completing chores. When Karen heads into work, distracted, she confides in Elaine that she's starting to feel sad that her kids are imminently flying the nest and Elaine advises her to get a new hobby. Seeing an advert in the paper for cookery competition, Supachef, Karen vows to enter. When she tells Rob and Imogen they respond in amazement. Also, Mrs Tembe's enthusiasm for role play leads to her being misunderstood.
