The episode kicks off with Johannes (played by Peter Serafinowicz) presenting Amanda (portrayed by Lucy Punch) with a sleek new car as a token of gratitude for her attentive care during his recuperation from an injury. Amanda proudly parades her new wheels at football practice, drawing admiring glances. Just as the excitement builds, Anne Flynn (Philippa Dunne) bursts in with news about the club's end-of-season awards bash, only to reveal that the party is in dire need of funds. Stepping up to the plate, Amanda offers both her and Johannes' assistance to ensure the event's success.
At work, Amanda receives a call from her mother, Felicity Sanderson (Joanna Lumley), who checks in on her daughter's well-being. Their conversation is abruptly cut short by Daniel Kichen (Cavan Clerkin), who interrupts to propose a delivery of 500 taps. Initially hesitant, Amanda's curiosity piques when she discovers the delivery's destination. Meanwhile, Amanda and Johannes spend a lazy afternoon indulging in each other's company. Post-coital, Amanda pitches the idea of Johannes sponsoring the football team's party, to which he readily agrees, viewing it as a fitting farewell gesture while casually flashing a fresh set of keys. Mistaking them for a house key, Amanda is soon enlightened that Johannes is actually proposing they cohabit. He sweetens the deal by offering to enroll their friends Manus (Alexander Shaw) and Georgie Hughes (Miley Locke) at St. Anthony's Private School. Amanda politely requests some time to consider the offer.
Running late for the party committee meeting, Amanda finally arrives to find Anne advocating for a replication of last year's party.Amanda argues for a more professional approach, suggesting hired caterers. The plan seems to be on track until discussions turn to the music, with Mal (Samuel Anderson) revealing that his involvement in football was solely to DJ the event alongside JJ (Ekow Quartey). Reluctantly, Amanda concedes the DJ spot to Mal.
At the party, Della Fry (Siobhan McSweeney) breaks the news to Mal that their business is on the brink of collapse, which she must confide in Fi (Rochenda Sandall). Anne discovers that her requested cava is missing from the menu, while Mal learns that beer is also unavailable. Amanda confides in Felicity about Johannes' cohabitation proposal, earning her mother's enthusiastic endorsement.
Georgie claims the first award for Most Improved Player, while Sophie Webster is hailed as Player of the Year. Amanda is later hailed on stage as a sponsor, prompting Johannes to request Rick Astley tunes from Mal, much to the latter's chagrin. Amidst the revelry, Fi volunteers to fetch beer, earning Mal's enthusiastic support and Anne's initial reluctance, which she eventually overcomes, opting for two bottles of cava.
In the whimsical confines of the photo booth, Amanda was taken aback to discover that George had inked a new tattoo. Her reaction was less than composed. Meanwhile, Johannes and Amanda twirled to the rhythm of the night, while JJ, Fi, Mal, and Anne retreated to the confines of a shipping container, turned makeshift lounge, in the parking lot's cool embrace. As the evening progressed, Amanda's curiosity piqued when she noticed the others' absence, particularly when Mal dashed back inside to fetch another wine glass. Spotting him, she hastily pulled him into the photo booth's intimate confines. Mal, however, scarpered the moment she brought up his hospital remarks about her being out of Johannes' league.
Felicity, unwittingly, spilled the beans about their impending move to George. Amanda's curiosity about her friends' whereabouts reached a crescendo, prompting her to inquire about Anne's whereabouts from Darius Flynn (Jack Veal), who shook his head in ignorance. Her search led her to the shipping container, where she confronted the group, her demeanor far from pleased as she announced her plans to relocate to Wapping with Johannes.
Back at the party, Amanda eagerly imparted her joyful news to Johannes, whose elation prompted an immediate call to his mother. Anne, however, declined to rejoin the festivities due to Amanda's earlier words. Outside, she eavesdropped on Georgie and Morten (Anya McKenna-Bruce), who were discussing Georgie's own move to Wapping. Anne tried to intervene, explaining to Georgie that Amanda's move stemmed from a perceived sense of duty.
Johannes' proposal to Amanda, in full view of everyone, was met with Anne's vehement objection. Amanda's response was less than gracious, and she harshly dismissed Anne as no longer her closest friend. When Johannes lashed out at Anne, Amanda stood up for her. However, Johannes' frustration culminated in him storming off in the car he had gifted Amanda. Felicity commended Amanda for her courage. Meanwhile, Della imparted the news about the restaurant to Fi in the photo booth, prompting Fi to note that Della's smile had been missing for too long, viewing this as a positive sign.
Amanda complimented Anne on her delectable sausage rolls, and Mal echoed Anne's earlier sentiment, acknowledging that Amanda was indeed too good for Johannes. The episode concluded with Amanda, Felicity, Georgie, and Manus returning home in Mal's vehicle, the night's events leaving an indelible mark on their bond.
