Rab finds himself invited to a posh supper for namesake Rabbie Burns. Rab has promised to be on his best behaviour so Mary can impress cleaning magnate McLure. The smooth-talking businessman has designs on Mary's cleaning company and it's not long before he locks horns with Rab. Jamesie is also busy locking horns in the toilets with a bullish feminist who is far from the toast of the lassies. Away from the dinner table the intentions of Saunders McLure become clear and Rab must rise to the occasion before Mary's cleaning company is wiped out completely.
