5. Hen Do, Hen Don't

Tom is heading out on his first ever hen do. Meanwhile Lauren is trying to find the right excuse for missing the corporate retreat.

Lauren is busy trying to find the right excuse to miss the corporate retreat. The idea of log throwing and climbing trees to encourage employee bonding is not how she wants to spend the weekend. Tom encourages her to go anyway, telling her it would be good for her career to take part in the activities.

Meanwhile Tom gets ready for his first ever hen do. Lauren has to explain to him that hen do's are far more complicated that stag do's. Once he discovers the WhatsApp group he has muted, Tom is horrified to find his outfit doesn't fit the theme, and that all activities are compulsory...
