Geoff watches Josh perform an unsuccessful stand-up gig and decides to take it upon himself to help Josh's career. Which means only one thing - a trip to Clacton and an onstage performance with the ChuckleBrothers. Can Josh cheat Geoff and avoid this humiliating fate? Meanwhile in Clacton, Kate and Owen put their competitive personalities to one side in order to try and win a cuddly toy that just so happens to look like a certain curly-haired Devonian.

It's Josh's birthday, so Kate and Owen decide to organise him a fancy-dress party. Josh is not keen, but he relents in the hope that it might give him a chance with Lucy, who lives upstairs and is so nice she would make Mother Teresa look like Katie Hopkins. Meanwhile, Kate meets her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend Cath, who is obsessed with YouTube videos and will not be deterred by either lack of interest or buffering. And, inevitably, Geoff pops by the party wearing a suitably impractical costume.

Josh gets dumped so Owen takes him on a double date with a couple of voracious cougars.
