It's Vince's (Craig Kelly) 30th birthday, & self-obsessed Stuart (Aidan Gillen) is jumping to every opportunity to outdo Vince's current boyfriend Cameron (Peter O'Brien), not only throwing a big party for him but also giving him a full-scale K9-model (which is of course the robot dog of popular sci-fi-tv character Doctor Who), & which easily outshines the car Cameron gives him (ok not really, but Doctor Who-fans might understand). But then things do turn nasty when Stuart has also invited Rosalie (Caroline Pegg), a girl from Vince's work who has a sort of fling for him & who doesn't know he is gay ... & when finding out, she is devastated, making Vince angry enough to break off friendship with Stuart, for good (but then, maybe not).

In the meantime, Romey (Esther Hall), the mother of Stuart's child, plans a fake marriage to Lance (John Brobbey), to save him from being deported to Nigeria - much to the dismay of Romey's lesbian girlfriend Lisa (Saira Todd), who all of a sudden thinks about a good use for the ever scheming Stuart: She hands him some loveletters Romey has written to her as evidence that she is not in love with Lance, which, handed over to the proper authorities, would reveal the marriage as a scam & Lance would be deported.

Generally, Stuart agrees to her plan, but he has no interest in taking the plan ... so he persuades Nathan (Charlie Hunnam), his 15-year-old one-night-stand that wouldn't go away to help out ...

A somehow dark & bitter episode ... that's quite entertaining though.
