Lowdown: Season 2, Episode 8

2 - 8:

Alex and Bob have a reconciliation lunch with Ben Hollander, the actor-singer the Sunday Sun exposed taking drugs and having sex with a prostitute in a public toilet, but Ben has now turned his back on a life of philandering and is getting re-married on the weekend. Alex is furious when he realises that Ben has ordered an outrageously expensive bottle of champagne and has left Alex to pick up the tab. Encouraged by the editor, Alex and Bob manipulate an innocent photo of Ben kissing a female friend into a full-blown story about Ben returning to his womanising ways. Alex approaches Ben's manager for comment. Ben's manager agrees to meet Alex and Bob, and then turns the tables on them both. Meanwhile, Rita decides it's time to get a paying job and applies for work at a bank managed by swaggering CEO Clive McGann, while Dr. James and Gary ask Alex to move out so they can use his room for their new hair transplant clinic, and a wholly transformed Bob asks Sam to marry him.
