Third to host in Cavan and Monaghan is writer and bon viveur Patrick Walsh. Patrick confesses to being a bit of a beginner when it comes to cooking, so he's opted for simple dishes in the hope that he can gain points by charming his four guests. Obsessed with Oscar Wilde, Patrick gets everyone to come in Victorian dress. Pub landlady Collette McGahern wears a low-cut dress that has potential to drive Patrick to distraction, but he is determined to concentrate on playing host. In a chat about art, photographer Taine King and lecturer Tony Sheridan are at loggerheads and voices are raised. To distract them, Patrick's entertainment of Oscar Wilde stories and quotations calms the mood so much that hotel worker Pauline Farrelly falls asleep. Patrick's simple soup starter and chicken main course may not win him too many points, but will his literary evening scoop him the 1,000 Euro?
