Lesley Joseph recovered just enough from her illness to continue, is the last of this fivesome to host. Her guests are happy about her recovery, but mostly Paul who wants to see her more than taste her food. Her menu consists of roast cauliflower soup as a starter, pork loin with white wine, garlic and rosemary as the main course, and hot fruit tower for dessert. Mark makes an unusual interpretation of the menu, but others feel the menu may be too simple to win. Sarah is just hoping that her absence from last night will have no effect on her scores. But she has a request for her .

Francis Glancy is second on the list to host the dinner party. He's worried about having a panic attack if something goes not according to plan. He is fussy about his food and its presentation, which reflects the artist in him. He uses his artistic talents both as décor and as an offering to his guests, the latter which he hopes doesn't offend. His menu consists of summer bruschetta as a starter, iskenderoni as the main course, and vanilla and ginger cheesecake with balsamic strawberries for dessert. Something during the evening does not go according to Francis' plan, but will that affect either his demeanor or his guests' appreciation of the evening?

The five contestants from Dundee, Scotland for this week are: office manager Laura Cunningham, an outgoing person who doesn't like dead silences in conversation; social worker Jimmy Fox, who has a thing against the English; artist Francis Glancy, who describes himself as sneaky in a cowardly way; interior décor shop manager and Englishman Adam Smith, who is meticulous about dining etiquette; and café owner Tara Tasker, who sees herself as the underdog out to win. Tara Tasker is the first to host the dinner party. Her menu consists of cream of Arbroath smokie soup as a starter, drunken duck with bramble wine and plum bree as the main course, and Tara's tantalizing trio for dessert. Her game plan is to be as attentive to her guests' needs as possible. True to her self-professed underdog status, she is stressed throughout the cooking process, especially of her main course, which she admits to being terrible in her test earlier in the week. Is the final product any better in her guests' opinions? Beyond the food, the four Scots have a laugh over the one Englishman.
