The solicitor's romance with Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) has been going well in recent months, but things took an unexpected turn when Joel offered to help stressed fellow solicitor Dee-Dee with her workload.

Joel suggested that he meet a new client of hers at the Bistro on her behalf, and he and the client were served by Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) as he began taking notes on the new case.

Much to Toyah's surprise, and Joel's panic, the meeting was interrupted by another woman, who sat down at the table. The client was unimpressed and opted to leave, finding someone else to help her.

Joel then asked the other woman how she found him, before promising that he would sort something out. She demanded an immediate solution, so Joel asked to go somewhere private.
