Jo and Stephen are having their friends round for dinner. That means either Nicholas & Jay with Simon & Kay, John & Laura (or is it Dick & Nora?) and, of course, Barney & Bee.  Except Barney & Bee are no longer together, and Jo has invited Bee's new partner Alex.  Unfortunately, Stephen wasn’t listening and has invited Barney.
