After Terry has cancelled the Medfords' skiing holiday, June goes out to dinner with Nigel Coalfax, an old flame of hers from before her marriage, back from Australia. Finding a love letter from June to Nigel but unaware it was written many years earlier, Terry allows Sir Dennis and Malcolm to ply him with Dutch courage and stalk June, finally gate-crashing a poetry reading meeting which Terry, listening at the door, has interpreted as a declaration of love for June by the vicar.
