Series 1, Episode 2 - Size Matters
Susan arranges a proper, uninterrupted date with Steve at her flat, and even offers to cook - something which Sally assures her will be seen as "sex with catering". Meanwhile, despite their opposing politics, Sally is ever-more drawn to Patrick after discovering his nickname 'Donkey' does not refer to his intellect...
Further details
Susan and Steve prepare to go on their first date (or at least, their first date without their friends gatecrashing.) Susan suggests that she'll cook, sparking debate as to whether that means she's inviting Steve to have sex too.
Susan tells Sally - and Steve - that Patrick is particularly well-endowed. This leaves Sally with a tricky dilemma: she's always sworn never to have sex with a Tory, but Patrick is a very big boy... Meanwhile, Steve is increasingly intimidated by Patrick's huge reputation, until Susan finally puts him at ease.
