How will Charlie react to the news that Tim is a bigamist? Sally rails at Tim for failing to face up to his mistakes and by telling a pack of lies which has only made matters worse. However when Tim reveals he’s confessed all to the police, Sally is furious and accuses him of making everything doubly worse.
Meanwhile, Geoff works his magic on Peter. When Michael hires Geoff to perform a variety of magic tricks at Tiana’s birthday party, Yasmeen remarks that he is a bit rusty causing Geoff to seethe. Returning from the meeting, Yasmeen tells Geoff it’s made her realise she doesn’t have an alcohol problem. Incensed, Geoff cracks open a bottle of wine and forces her to knock it back. Peter goes to check on Yasmeen and is concerned when Geoff claims it’s done more harm than good and she’s started drinking again!
Elsewhere, Steve and Tracy find themselves railroaded into attending Ken’s book club as part of their relationship building exercise.
