Valerie Pitman (played by Sarah Moyle) and Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) meet Mary when they attend a science fair.

Valerie and Al are there to try and pitch Valerie's invention for women to potential investors.

Things don't get off to a good start when Valerie and Al start squabbling.

Valerie feels Al isn't being very supportive.

However, hope is on the horizon when the duo get the chance to pitch their idea to investors including Mary.

Unfortunately, Valerie manages to make a mess of things when she accidentally sprays liquid in Mary's face!

Whoops!

Has Valerie blown her chance of attracting a BIG money investor?
