Keen to make a good impression, Don turns up an hour late to his date and things go from bad to worse, but Jenny isn't fazed and seems quite fond of Don. As the relationship grows Jenny's behaviour starts to ring alarm bells with Don and he becomes increasingly concerned about their compatibility; something his flatmates can't quite see.

At home things aren't going so well either and, encouraged by Sam, Eddie walks out on Don, refusing to return until Don can show him that he does appreciate him. Meanwhile, Brian and Sam are out to defeat the Biology Busters in the local pub quiz and recruit Don to play for them. It's not long before Don's relationship tensions come to a head as Team Analysis battle it out against Biology Busters and Jenny is seen for what she really is.
