The episode begins with two couples that are breaking up with each other. Steve has an “unflushable” girlfriend according to his best friend Jeff. Steve’s girlfriend does not want to break up with Steve; she simply does not allow it. She tricks him with sex, so he will stay with her. The other couple who is breaking up are Patrick and Susan, this goes a lot better in comparison with the other couple. Though Patrick did not expect the cool, male reaction of Susan.  Then Susan and Steve meet each other in the ladies room, Steve was there because he was having sex with is unflushable girlfriend. Susan and Steve like each other, so Steve calls Susan to have a date. On the date his unflushable girlfriend walks in, but it is no problem because Susan has a facial so she will be there an hour later. While Steve is trying to end the relationship Susan walks in. The unflushable girlfriend and Susan meet, the unflushable girlfriend suddenly breaks up with Steve. Everybody is in the restaurant at that moment and will have dinner together.

My opinion

The series coupling is really funny; it has the British humour written all over the episode. The characters can react unpredictable, this I think, is because you know the situation and you watch the program like you are in that situation and you would react in a totally different way than the character does, I guess this makes it unpredictable. The complexities of the relationships with all the characters are hilarious. I like the fact that some things are back to basic; you can find yourself in the same circumstances and because of that you recognize a lot of situations of your own life. This series are really fun to watch during a break from studying or after a long day of hard work, you can just relax and enjoy yourself.
