At a café blind date, Sophie Yates arrives just as a chaotic money dispute erupts: a man berates a younger woman and her mother for gambling losses, grabs the mother, demands payment and threatens to evict them. The scuffle draws attention and a bystander volunteers, "I'll fake the blind date for you." Mrs. Lewis had prepared a rose; Sewell Lewis takes it and meets Sophie. Their introduction is stiff—Sophie recoils, "Get off me"—and the episode ends with the staged meeting underway while the eviction threat and the awkward first contact remain unresolved.
