The sale of Matt and Meg's house is signed, sealed and delivered so they have to get a move on finding somewhere new to live.

With few options available to Matt and Meg, the pair have no choice but to stay with Matt's sister Gail - even if it means sharing a single sofa bed with her vicious cat. This sleeping situation is bad news to the ears of their counsellor, Paula, as it'll do little to end the dry spell Matt and Meg have endured for the last six months.

She suggests a spa break might be the change of pace they need to take a positive step forward in their relationship. Of course, their romantic getaway proves to be anything but when the hotel's paper-thin walls, a packed schedule of enforced relaxation and laddy businessmen on a teambuilding conference conspire against them.

The couple manage to regain that first date feeling at dinner, only for trepidation to mount about what the rest of the night has in store.

Back in Kendal, meanwhile, Gail and Sam view a potential property on behalf of Matt and Meg, giving Sam the chance to exercise his latest scheme to woo his best mate's sister.
