Stewart is dreading a tacky student affair, Emma thinks the host must be a man, Huw is flummoxed about what a full-moon beach party is, and Gina thinks that she should wear an overcoat.

Sarita is convinced her food and hosting skills will be enough to bag her the £1,000 cash prize and she's got a pink-themed evening planned to impress her guests.

The tension between the ladies is hard to ignore but while Dan is away in the kitchen, tempers really fly in the dining room. Dan is dumbstruck as to how his evening has turned into chaos.
