Gary and Tony are back at it again in the fourth episode of Men Behaving Badly Season 1, titled "Animals." This hilarious episode takes a lighthearted look at the antics these two socially inept men find themselves embroiled in.

The episode begins with Gary's new girlfriend Dorothy coming over to the flat, hoping for a quiet evening with her beau. Little does she know, chaos is just around the corner. Tony, Gary's best friend and roommate, has invited a couple of friends over for a poker game, completely oblivious to the fact that Gary has romantic plans in store.

As the evening progresses, the poker game escalates into an outrageous event filled with wild bets, trash-talking, and excessive consumption of alcohol. Tony and his friends, Dermot and Vince, turn the once-calm flat into a rowdy casino-like atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Gary desperately tries to salvage the evening and keep Dorothy from fleeing the chaos surrounding her. He attempts to steer the poker game towards less disruptive interests, suggesting they play for fun rather than money. However, his attempts to regain control are constantly thwarted by Tony's rowdy behavior and disregard for decorum.

Throughout the episode, the game takes an unpredictable turn when Tony decides to introduce an unusual twist. He starts to bet with bizarre items, ranging from a pair of Dorothy's underwear to a live hamster. This creates an uproar among the players, who eagerly engage in outlandish wagers in the spirit of the unconventional game.

As the night progresses, tensions rise between the players, leading to some comical and explosive moments as the poker game reaches its climax. The combination of intense competition, excessive alcohol consumption, and Tony's lack of social graces results in a series of hilarious misunderstandings and chaotic situations.

Amidst the raucous game, Gary desperately tries to keep Dorothy from discovering the true nature of his living arrangements. Unexpectedly, a neighbor's dog escapes and enters the flat, causing further mayhem. The poker players, now distracted by the mischievous canine, turn their focus away from the game and immerse themselves in a hilarious pursuit of the uninvited guest.

As the episode nears its end, with the flat in disarray and the poker game in shambles, Gary finds himself at a crossroads. He is torn between his loyalty to Tony and his desire to cultivate a meaningful relationship with Dorothy. With tensions running high, he must make a decision that could potentially have lasting consequences for his friendships and romantic prospects.
