This was a very funny episode, and maybe the funniest in recent memory. Jeremy's had an affair before (in the season 2 finale) but here he wasn't the one doing the cheating, and seemed to really enjoy it. He can tolerate the situation because it's "hot" and it led to some quite awkward situations. This means he is able to tolerate the fact that the love of his life doesn't really like him that much, and his sense of denial is very believable.

Meanwhile the Mark and Johnson storyline was not quite as good but it did show how Johnson is now TOTALLY INSANE. Still, that didn't stop Johnson from running off with £2,000 of Mark's money, which is hardly surprising. I don't know if perhaps his relationship with Big Suze has fuelled this, as they seem to have a very awkward way of going on.

I'm not sure if we'll see Gail again but presumably we will. She was an almost scary character but did seem like a match made in heaven for Mark. Shame that she finds him so ugly. Her return home sparks the ending which was the funniest part. "Mr Chosen" crawls along the floor hoping to not get spotted. The sense of denial has hit its peak and Mark is not even surprised that Jeremy is naked.

Overall a funny, fairly standalone episode. Not sure if we will see Big Suze again, or Johnson in the next episode, or whether Jeremy will finally come to the realisation that he can't get away with this forever. But until then, the two can continue to live in their little dreamworld.
