Paul asks if Caroline is in. Paul thinks her date must be going well, but Chrissie (in a pair of very Harry Potter-esque glasses) asked her and she assured her it was business. Paul tells her that he heard Caroline on the phone and it definitely sounded like a date, while Chrissie thought she did dress up a bit for a simple business dinner but asks Paul if he knows who it is. He lies and says he has no idea, they will just have to wait and see.

Paul is getting snappy with Caroline so she snaps back that he's been treating everyone, especially her and Melanie, appallingly. He says he can't trust Melanie with PR yet and Caroline reminds him that that is probably why she's been avoiding him - he knows he won't trust her.

Jim is starving - he didn't have breakfast this morning as he rushed off so quickly and Helen didn't get a chance to ask him how it went. He replies with a brief fine and asks about Rosemary. Helen shares her concerns about taking an 11 year old to a fancy restaurant, it could be intimidating for both of them.
Restaurant

Helen makes Tracy feel a lot more at home - she suggests that she changes out of her nice clothes (!) into something more casual, and asks her some questions about the instrument she is playing. This only serves to upset Rosemary more - she couldn't coax a smile out of her in three hours, Helen only took three minutes!
