Plot
A mobile blood bank arrives on the street and Eve's offer of a free pint generates interest. Matt faints at the sight of his own blood. Karen and Gill's plan to set up Dev is on for that evening. Ken arrives home after spending the night at Anita's and the atmosphere is awkward. Duggie arranges another date with Sunita while bonding with Richard after they give blood together. As they share a pint Richard highlights a business opportunity that interests Duggie. David tells Martin that he's fine over Gail's decision to marry Richard. Karen's plan to seduce Dev is not going to plan and with Gill and Geena arriving back at the flat she takes the last resort by taking off her top and throwing a glass of wine over Dev's clothes. On cue Geena and Gill walk through the door. Geena is gobsmacked to see Karen in her bra and Dev with disheveled clothes. She ignores Dev's pleas as Gill comforts her.
