Attempting to prove that he's not in love with his colleague Kirsty, Labour Researcher Danny arranges an internet date. Initially the date seems to go well; however, it is fairly obvious that Danny doesn't take after his older brother, Scott, when it comes to charming the fairer of the sexes. Being a busy labour MP, Jo asks loyal Researcher Danny and intern Kirsty to organise an intimate birthday dinner for her husband and close friends. Kirsty has bigger ideas, planning to use the occasion to network with her boss's useful connections. Fuelled by his continuing ...

The murder of a white prisoner by his Asian inmate has created a media frenzy and the press are demanding a statement from their local MP, Labour minister Jo Porter who is nowhere to be seen. When she finally arrives at work, hungover, she lets slip to Danny that Scott left last night's party with Kirsty. Danny is left wondering what happened between the two of them. Scott and Kirsty decide to lie about it. Sexy journalist Sophie convinces Labour supporting Scott to escort her to the Conservative Winter Ball. His boss, Stephen Templeton encourages him to go - hoping ...

Stephen tells Scott that he's been headhunted to help the flagging Labour by-election campaign. Scott's flattered and heads up to Sedley to assess the candidate.

Danny urges Jo to seek counselling for her escalating drink problem. Ashika uses a picture of Scott's dad to promote herself and boost her campaign. Danny suggests Kirsty for a new research job for an MP. Unbeknown to Kirsty the job is not available to her but she will stop at nothing to climb the political ladder, even if it means sleeping her way to the top.

Jo Porter has to perform well in the opposition debate otherwise her career is over. Danny is devastated when Kirsty admits to sleeping with a potential employer for a research post. As the Sedley by-election heats up, so does the relationship between Ashika and Scott. However, when Scott receives a CD containing photos of Ashika and James Northcote he is torn.
