It's Specs' big date! He looks sharp. His beloved is enjoying herself. Life's good. Things hit a snag when the annoying customer at the next table turns out to be Lamput. Specs comes face to face with some big questions of work-life-balance. Should he be a perfect gentleman and give his partner the attention she deserves? Or spend his evening in a desperate scramble to capture an orange blob? Turns out Lamput's feeling merciful, and helps Specs hoodwink -erm- impress his lady. One can't help but wonder how Specs' girlfriend will feel once she discovers that that diamond ring she's wearing is actually a shapechanging fugitive from a biochem lab.
