At Michael's place of work, his boss, Les Dye, notices his lateness ... ... and absent-mindedness ...
... Michael's protestations that he's "working on a case" cut no ice ... just ironic barbs ...
... though Les offers a chance to make amends by a little evening work ... "not this evening Les - the play" ..
... "Ah, your leisure pursuit ... I'd thought about tropical fish for the office, but then .... that would've been mixing business with pleasure ... not advisable" ...
... that evening, Barnaby's thrilled to have sold 57 programmes .. and Alan meets new cast member, Fiona..
... Geraldine is put out by the mayor's early departure ... Sally doesn't think Michael's director potential ...
... Frank's reaction to Barnaby's 57 sold programmes is to hint he might end up with a stage part ...."
...Michael tells Frank he hasn't told his wife yet about 'the play' .. but offers Alan the lighting job for it ...
... Fiona tells Sally Alan isn't her type ..Frank begs Michael not to use THAT name whilst directing the play..
... Michael softens Geraldine up with a gin ... ... but spoils the effect for her by using the dreaded name ...
... Geraldine finds his idea isn't as daft as first thought ... but Lynne's mystified at her quoting 'the play' ...
... Lynne's clearly not warming to the idea ... as much as Geraldine, who foresees a moment of glory ...
... despite what awaits Michael at home ... his thoughts are already on daggers and other details ...
