Synopsis
When Tim and Lee try to organise a party for Lucy's 30th birthday, their ideas of what makes a good party differ widely; Tim likes a few games of charades, while Lee likes a do where there are no competitors for Lucy's attention.

So when she arrives at the party arm-in-arm with another man, Lee makes it his mission to somehow get rid of him without causing a scene.

Plot
When Lee finds out that Lucy is turning 30 in a few days time, he and Tim decide to organise a surprise party. Lucy drops some hints to Lee that she may have a boyfriend when she reveals that she is going to Venice for her birthday. Lee, with the assistance of Barbara, goes through Lucy's phone which she left in the flat by mistake, attempting to find clues which could lead them to the mystery man. They call Robin (Ed Weeks) who, unknown to Lee and Barbara, is sitting in the back of a taxi with Lucy herself at the time. Robin informs Lucy of the phone call from Lee, posing as a doctor from Venice. Lucy later agrees to the party but asks Robin to be her boyfriend for one night as she will be the only single person there. Robin drinks too much and gropes Lucy who is in visible discomfort. Lee witnesses this and runs to her rescue, pouring an entire chocolate fountain over Robin.
