Mrs Tembe is disappointed that she can't make tonight's performance of Twelfth Night at the RSC, and Elaine gladly takes her ticket. However, Elaine gets into a pickle when she bumps into Martin in Stratford, who is waiting for Julia. Thinking Elaine to be 'Alicia', he invites her along to lunch with him and Julia. Keen to keep their honey trap a secret, Julia and Elaine play along, pretending they've never met.
However, things get more tricky when Barry arrives on the scene. Persuaded by the mischievous Zara and Kevin that Julia has the hots for him, Barry wants to spend as much time as possible with the object of his affections before tonight's performance. Julia asks Barry to keep it a secret that she and Elaine know each other, and he agrees - manically grinning and displaying his garish yellow trousers, which Zara and Kevin convinced him that Julia would love.
Later, Barry is shocked to discover that Julia is actually on a date with Martin. He storms off with Martin in pursuit, which culminates in Barry losing his balance during a scuffle and falling into the river. Angry at being made a fool of and realising that Julia doesn't have feelings for him, Barry lets rip and reveals that Elaine and Julia know each other. Julia is forced to explain the honey trap to Martin.
Meanwhile, a burgeoning relationship is threatened by a shocking revelation, but can Mandy help new love prosper?
