Jonathan thinks he and Alan Dale are best mates, so is put out when his star has organised a wrap party for everyone and not invited him.

In an attempt to re-establish his friendship with Alan, Jonathan over-steps the mark and offends his leading man. Never one to miss a chance to berate Jonathan, Nancy arrives on the scene to declare Alan has locked himself in his trailer and refuses to return to set until Jonathan apologises for sexually assaulting him.

Irritated with having to make amends for a trivial misunderstanding, Jonathan finally relents under Nancy's bullish scrutiny and apologises to Alan.

After clearing the air with his star, Jonathan learns that he was in fact invited to Alan's wrap party but Nancy had never passed on his invite. In a moment of male bonding, Jonathan misguidedly hugs Alan and squeezes his bum to make light of the whole 'sexual harassment affair' from earlier in the day.
