Maud is stunned when Maureen tells her about joining the lonely hearts and her blind date. Fiona is impressed when Alec promises her training and support and says that he'll book Rita as her coach. Ken struggles directing A Midsummer Night's Dream. Rita doesn't want to coach Fiona in singing for Alec until Fiona tells her that she genuinely wants to be trained. Sue Jeffers opens her heart to Ken and tells him that her husband has left her for another woman. He tries to comfort her.
