Eileen has Paula round for lunch. Paula's frosty towards Colin which Eileen finds slightly odd. Tara introduces Dev to Justin the artist/photographer and tells him that she's commissioned him to do some more pieces. Dev's inwardly cringing. Natasha boasts to Maria how she's spent another fantastic night with Tony. Maria can't help feeling annoyed. Simon asks Peter to read him a story but Peter's too drunk and sends him off to bed.
