Natasha puts her foot in it and it鈥檚 a big day for Zainab.
Oliver asks Lily to help with interviews for a new receptionist at Grey Gables. Dane will be on the panel as well; Oliver comments that his style is very informal. Sure enough, Dane and Lily are soon giggling together and try to compose themselves as Oliver brings in the first candidate, Zainab Malik. As Dane excitedly engages her in conversation about her scooter, Oliver attempts to get back to the job in hand. Zainab answers some unconventional questions competently, and declares she鈥檚 enjoyed herself. Dane and Lily are impressed and convince Oliver to give her a try out despite his concerns that she didn鈥檛 have many relevant questions to answer. Lily reckons Zainab will have no problem getting her head around the hotel鈥檚 systems.
Natasha鈥檚 disappointed to hear Helen鈥檚 not keeping on top of her dating app. Helen shares her latest status and they laugh about some of the profiles that have come up. Natasha spots one of them is Martyn Gibson. She jokes she might swipe right on Helen鈥檚 behalf. They fill Ian in on the dating site, Helen insisting it鈥檚 not a big deal, she just wants to see how she feels about dating. Then she notices she鈥檚 a match with Martyn, and realises to her horror that Natasha must have swiped the wrong way earlier. She can鈥檛 ignore him, but doesn鈥檛 know how to reply to his message of condolence about Peggy. Ian suggests telling Martyn the truth but Natasha thinks this will break his heart. Helen鈥檚 at a loss. She wishes she鈥檇 never downloaded the app!
