Summary[]

Patrick tries to find a way to go home after his sexcapdes with Sally. When he asks Steve for help, Steve tells Patrick that it can't be done, especially since that night is the first dinner party Sally is hosting. Meanwhile, Jane has invited Oliver over to Sally's dinner party, but Oliver is worried as his nipples are rather large. When it becomes obvious that Patrick will be going home after the party, Sally starts drinking and when everybody is about to leave Sally, clad in a blonde wig and red oven mitts, sings a song about Susan entitled "Susan: The Happy Trotting Elf". The episode ends with Patrick and Sally ending up in bed, Patrick saying " bollocks" that he wasn't able to go home.

Steve: What you are suggesting is going to her home, having sex with her and just leaving.
Patrick: Exactly.
Steve: It's just like when a guy goes into a restaurant and he wants to use a toilet.
Patrick: Believe me, I tried to explain that to her.

Susan: Are you alright?
Sally: Oh hello!
Susan: It's just that you're supposed to be showing us all to the door.

Sally: Exactly.

Sally: My lord, I thought you'd gone
