The episode starts with Frank and Betty lying in bed. Out of the blue she asks him what his biggest sexual fantasy is. He is reluctant to answer at first, then says he doesn’t have one. After much persuasion from Betty he says a threesome, as that’s what he thinks most men’s sexual fantasy would be. Betty then promises to fulfil Frank’s fantasies that night.
It’s then revealed that Nicola and Anton are now seeing each other; however, whenever Betty and Nicola are in the same room the sexual tension is unbearable and usually ends up with Nicola snogging Anton to prove a point.
Betty plans the night by saying her and Frank will go to Nandos before going to Liquid and getting “shitfaced”. Frank is annoyed because they have already had three Nandos in the week, but Betty starts waxing lyrical about how amazing and lush it is. Frank says it is chicken and rice; however, everything he says in argument against it is met with a “yeah, but it’s amazing.” Ultimately, they decide to get a Nandos. Anton then invites himself and Nicola to Nandos because he can see how annoyed Frank is.
The episode then follows them on a double date, which is an awkward affair. Frank is annoyed that he’s in Nandos again, Betty is loving every bite and Nicola is an absolute state, drinking a whole bottle of wine to herself.
After the meal they all head to Liquid. For Frank there’s almost a resigned negativity to it all. Nicola is already extremely drunk after drinking a lot in Nandos, Anton realises this and starts drinking two drinks at a time to catch up with her. Anton’s point for doing this is because he doesn’t want to be seen taking advantage of her, but at the same time really wants sex, he claims “it’s the only solution.”
At Liquid Betty tells Frank she’s looking for somebody for the threesome. Frank wants to tell her not to bother, but before he gets the chance Betty is gone. Anton then challenges Frank to a game on the boxing machine. Frank beats him twice, with a very drunk Nicola also beating him. This annoys Anton, who blames his loss on an injured hand.
Frank then goes to find Betty and wanders into the smoking area where he finds Anne-Marie. Frank is clearly delighted to see her and they get talking. It’s revealed that Anne-Marie is now living in Crawley and commuting to Uni, which pleases Frank.
Betty then comes out into the smoking area with another man, who’s up for the threesome. She looks proud of herself, not even acknowledging Anne Marie. Frank is gobsmacked and an argument ensues where Frank says he just can’t be bothered anymore with the relationship. Betty scowls at Frank and storms off with the other man. Anne-Marie just sits watching Frank and Betty argue wide eyed, almost scared. Frank then explains the whole situation, and why he didn’t chase after Anne-Marie after she said she was going to Uni. Anne-Marie and Frank then kiss.
Anne-Marie and Frank go back inside and have a dance. Anton and Nicola are horrifically drunk and just a mess over each other while still trying to dance. Both of them get thrown out and Frank and Anne-Marie follow them out. In the end they get a taxi back to the flat all together.
Again, Frank and Anne-Marie don’t sleep together, they just hug, but this is clearly sending Frank even deeper into love. As they hug all Frank and Anne-Marie can hear is noisy love making from Anton’s room.
In the morning Nicola and Anton have a chat about their relationship. Nicola is clearly not game, and says the best thing for them to do is have an open relationship. Anton struggles with the meaning of this term, at first thinking it means both he and Nicola will be more open in their feelings towards one another; however, Nicola reveals in very blunt terms what an open relationship entails.
As Nicola and Anne-Marie leave the flat, Anton and Frank confide in each other about their nights. Anton reveals what’s happening with Nicola, which makes Franks show sympathy towards him. Frank then talks about Anne-Marie and that he plans to tell her how he feels very soon.
