Summary[]
Philip becomes nervous when he invites his boss to dinner. He informs the family that everything should be perfect, if he has a chance of earning a promotion. However, his plans go out of the window when Will burns down the kitchen, attempting to cook Flambe. Will enlists the help of Geoffrey to disguise the accident, so that Philip and his boss do not find out.
Meanwhile Carlton, who's away at Republican Camp becomes aware of the fire after Will mentions it to him over the phone. After a difficult return home to investigate, he accidently reveals the accident to Phillip and the judge. The judge is amazed, and Phil shows surprising understanding of the situation, displaying gratitude that Will is unharmed, and giving him a hug. Days later Phillip is still hugging Will, now in an imprisoning headlock style, with no intention of letting Will go.
