But does Dee-Dee like him that way?
Inviting Dee-Dee out for a drink, Joel explains that he needs to pick her brain about US law. Dee-Dee’s chuffed as she gets her books out, however Joel’s disappointed as he realises Dee-Dee doesn’t see it as a date.
Admitting that US law was just an excuse to ask her out, Joel suggests they have dinner and Dee-Dee’s chuffed, but reveals she’s busy for the next few nights. Disappointed, Joel hurries out and Dee-Dee kicks herself.
Later, when Adam finds out that Dee-Dee turned down a date with Joel in order to spend the evening with him, he engineers a plan to get them together.
