Abi is upset, she can’t get tickets for Cold Play. Michael just happens to have a couple which he is prepared to sell to Roger at an extortionate price. He considers the offer and realizes Abi is worth it. At the surgery, Janey is causing chaos with Baby Kenzo crying. Roger takes the baby who needs changing, so Ben leaves his root canal work and decides to do it with terrible consequences. Susan arrives at her book club, and appears to be the only member, apparently there were several last minute cancellations.

Mr Griffin comes to the door to apologise to Susan, and thinks Ben must have been told what happened. Ben is happy to pass the message on and says that Susan will be there later. Mr Griffin takes this to mean that Susan probably fancies him. Luckily, Michael seems to have two more tickets to sell to Roger, for even more money.
