After the rest of the day was spent with everyone, even Millicent, helping Carly get her online dating profile on Tinder up and running, the gang relaxed for the rest of the night, with Carly herself saying she wouldn't look at the app again until the morning, to judge whether her bold decision to start online dating would work. And when that morning came, she unlocked her phone when she woke up to come across more than 20 guys who had liked her already - but judging from her reaction, she didn't like any of them.

Carly: Yuck... too old... too weird... since when is juggling with knives considered a hobby?

She took it out to the living room, where she saw Harper sprawled out across the couch, with a few shot glasses and couple of bottles of wine either side of her, as well as a half drunk one on the table.

Carly: Oh, Harper... you never will learn...

She cleared up the mess and ordered eggs benedict for them both on Postmates. And when she stuck the TV on, the formerly drunken now hungover Harper woke up.

Harper: Uuuggh... my head... it feels like I've been trampled by a wild bunch of fashion critics three times over...

Carly: And good morning to you too! Already ordered food, it's on the way.

Harper: Thank god, I am starving...

She then laid back on the sofa good and proper while she asked about Carly's Tinder.

Harper: So, meet any cute guys yet?

Carly: No, nobody I like yet. The closest I've seen is a Freddie lookalike called William, and he's a marine biologist.

Harper: Well that doesn't sound too bad...

Carly: He's only here for a week and he lives in Chicago, no doubt what he's looking for...

Harper: Yeah, probably best you... stay away from that one...

Harper took a quick glance at him, liking what she saw a little before Carly continued to swipe left and right until the food arrived. And when she gave Harper her bag, she tore through it like a lion devouring a gazelle, while Carly took smaller bites, along with her orange juice.

Carly: Jeez girl, slow down!

Harper: I can't help it, I needed this.

Carly: I guessed that...

She got up and gave Harper another bag.

Carly: Which is why I took the liberty of getting you two portions. This one... with extra bacon on the side!

Harper looked grateful as she gently took the bag from Carly's hand, but the end result was still Harper demolishing the food in under 2 minutes, to which Carly just shook her head.

Carly: Nope... no... DEFINITELY not... Ugh, I never expected this online dating thing to be so... strenuous...

Harper: Relax girl... you just need to bide your time, the boys will come to you.

After a few more swipes in both directions, Carly then put her phone down and finished her food.

Harper: Trust me, I tried this sorta thing a while back, and it kinda ended up well - I had a couple of dates with this guy who works at the swimming pool as a lifeguard, but after the second night I spent with him, he lost interest in me...

Carly: Classic Harper...

Harper: The important thing is getting yourself back out there, and this is pretty much the perfect way!

Carly: I guess so...

Meanwhile, Freddie barged into Spencer's apartment with a panicked look on his face, only to find Spencer himself sprawled out on the floor, only wearing his black and gold robe, a pair of boxers and one sock.
