The episode revolves around Frank’s date with Betty, the girl he met at the flat party.
The episode starts in the office with Stu taunting Frank for not seeming interested in girls. This makes Frank reveal that he has a date with Betty from the office. Stu seems shocked and soon reveals to Frank that Betty is a bisexual. This makes Frank slightly worried as he looks over at Betty laughing with a man and woman and a bit of jealousy starts to set in. Frank's insecurity is made worse by Anton who reveals that Frank will have to be constantly on his guard as Betty could be interested in anyone, not just one sex.
On the actual date Franks is instantly annoyed because Betty turns up late for the cinema. She seems unapologetic, which annoys Frank even more, but he still persists. At the cinema Betty tries to talk to Frank throughout, irritating him and the people around them.
Both then move onto a cocktail bar that Betty recommends, but Frank doesn't seem keen, especially when the bar is revealed to not even sell beer. The date soon moves from bad to worse as Frank is introduced to Betty’s best friend Gay James. All three sit at a table together, as Gay James and Betty laugh hysterically at each other’s jokes and previous sexual experiences while Frank sits there silently, getting more and more drunk.
Eventually Frank and Gay James are left alone, which leads to Frank inadvertedly insulting Gay James by claiming his job as a ‘Contact Centre Software Developer’ is not what homosexuals usually do, as it sounds like a “normal person’s job”. This leads to Gay James storming off.
When Betty questions Frank about why Gay James has stormed off an argument quickly ensues between both, which leads to Frank shouting at an arrogant cocktail barman who’s been annoying him all night. This leads to a further confrontation between Frank and Betty.
In the taxi home, Betty shouts at Frank for showing little sympathy when she loses her bank card and she leaves the taxi. When Frank arrives home, he realises he has her bank card. Betty comes round but seems to think this was a perfectly formulated plan by Frank to get her to come back to his flat. They end up kissing and Betty stays the night.
