Synopsis:

     Marie, a nail salon owner, is getting ready for the last customers of the day to arrive. Natasha sweeps in, full of excitement about her new romantic partner - a lawyer who is taking her to Joni's, the new fashionable local restaurant. Natasha is patronising to Marie, promising her that she too will find someone. When Zoe arrives for her appointment, she too starts regaling the others about her exciting new boyfriend, who is also taking her to Joni's. The women soon realise, to their horror, that they are dating the same man. When Natasha confronts him over the phone, she learns that not only has he been dating them both... he is married! Both Zoe and Natasha apologise to each other for having not believed the other, and sail out of the salon together to Joni's, while Marie cleans up.
