As Susan leaves, Tad tells Paul and Hannah that he's off to "schmooze with Suze"(!)
Hannah tries to hide something from Paul and he asks what it is. It turns out to be a letter from Pascale. Paul isn't pleased, but Hannah says it's a private letter and she doesn't have to show it to him.

Hannah exasperatedly gives him the letter and tells him she hopes his French is up to it(!)

Joel asks Jemma why she chose not to believe the rumours that Geri has been spreading. She says, "What makes you think I don't?" Joel looks upset but then she laughs and says she's only joking - she doesn't believe in listening to second-hand information. She'd rather find out what sort of guy Joel is for herself.

There are French flags and Perrier water on the table. Hannah is very pleased. Paul says he's not bored of her France talk - it's just a bit of a hard act to follow.
