Rose was seated in Donna's office with Donna and Jack. The Doctor, however, was nowhere to be found. Despite being wrong about Rose being the thief, it seemed he still didn't want to face her.

"So what did you want to show us, Rose?" Donna asked.

Rose pulled out her laptop and brought up her Facebook account, then Adam's page. "The idiot forgot he had sent me a friend request when I first started here. And look at this."

She began playing a video that was posted there, a video Adam had made for his friend's band. "He's in film school. He edited this, as well as about a dozen other videos on this feed. Now, I'm assuming he hasn't told anyone that. Because if you're looking for a thief who can edit camera feed footage, that would point the finger directly at him. Don't you think?"

Donna nodded. "I think you're probably right. Though I can't fire him on this alone. We need to catch him in the act. We checked all the recordings on the hallway to our offices and he wasn't on there. So either he's covered his tracks on those as well, or he's accessing it remotely."

"My money's on the latter," Jack said, running his hand through his hair. "I overheard him chatting up Amy the other night, apparently he's a computer genius, or likes to think he is."

"Hmm, do you think Amy would be willing to help us out? If he's trying to pull her, he might slip up, trying to impress her," suggested Rose.

Donna frowned, "Isn't she engaged?"

"Yeah, but he doesn't seem to know that. Or doesn't care. Might be worth a shot." Jack offered.

"Just so we're clear, I'm doing this under duress. Wouldn't be doing it at all if Jack hadn't tipped me and Martha a hundred dollars each that night you were both here." Amy muttered angrily as she finished changing out of her uniform in the restroom the following evening.

"Well it's a good thing Jack's so generous, then. Come on, Amy. Don't you want him out of here? Then I can come back and you won't have to share a station with him," Rose cajoled.

"Yeah. You're lucky I like you, Tyler. Now where is the idiot?"

"He's in the section near the bar. So just go wait there and he'll be sure to be over to bother you in no time."

"All right, but if he puts one finger on me…"

"Then Jack will be there to stop him. Not that you need the back up, but we thought Jack would be less likely to break his arm or get arrested for assault."

"True," Amy agreed. "Am I getting paid for this?" she asked as they left the bathroom.

"Yeah, Donna said she'd pay you double-time."

"Oh! Why didn't you say so? Let's do this! And keep an eye out for Rory, will you? I didn't get a chance to tell him what's going on, and I don't want him getting the wrong idea. I'll tell him later."

"Sure. Okay, remember that the camera's going to be on you and Jack's got a microphone set up in the stack of coasters, so you just need to make sure you're sitting in front of it."

"Rose, you do know that modeling is my day-job, right? I know how to follow directions and you've already explained it to me twice. Let me work." she finished, turning swiftly to walk towards the bar, her hair flourishing behind her.

"A model?" Rose asked to herself, "Figures." She turned back to head to Donna's office, where they'd all agreed to wait. As she approached Donna's office, the Doctor was exiting his own office. He stopped abruptly when he saw her, rubbing his neck in apprehension. "Hi." said Rose.

"Hi," he replied, tersely.

"Did Donna tell you…"

"Yeah. I've got to work in the kitchen, but she'll let me know how it goes. And I'm running late, so…" he trailed off, not looking at her as he turned and walked away from her, towards the kitchen.

Rose sighed. If he wasn't going to apologize, or at least acknowledge that he was wrong, then she wasn't going to go out of her way to try to talk to him. She turned to enter Donna's office. "How's it looking?"

Donna barely looked up from the computer. "Oh, he took the bait all right. He's practically drooling on her. Good call on the mini-skirt."

"Amy's idea. Has he said anything?"

"Not yet, but he's just told her he's off for the night and ordered a drink. Jack made it a double, bless him. Maybe he'll incriminate himself after a drink or two."

"Here's hoping," muttered Rose, "Where's the other feeds? I need to keep an eye out for Rory."

"Rory's in the kitchen, John's got him working on the new menu so I don't think we'll see him any time soon. Now hush up! I think it's getting interesting."

Rose sat on Donna's desk as she turned up the volume on the computer. Jack had conveniently stepped away, and Amy was "confiding" in Adam how much she supposedly hated working there and felt that she was being underpaid. She even hinted that she needed money desperately for student loans and implied that whoever the thief was, they had the right idea.

Adam's face lit up, seeing an opportunity to score points with her, he let his hand show. "Oh, well you know, if you really need money you can just take some from the register and I can cover you. No one has to know about it, they already seem to think it was Rose - I could make sure they keep thinking that."

"Don't be ridiculous, there's cameras. I'd never get away with it." Amy said.

"I can deal with the cameras. It's kind of my specialty." he smirked.

"You're telling me you're the one who's been stealing?" she whispered, leaning into him conspiratorially. "Oh my god, but that's brilliant! How have you been keeping them from finding you out?"

"Easy. Those idiots wouldn't know their computers were hacked if I'd left a giant calling card behind me. I can change the footage, make it look like Tyler did it again. Go on, Harkness is off flirting with his boyfriend in the kitchen, no one's looking and you have the code. I'll keep watch."

Back in Donna's office, she and Rose watched the scene play out. "Do you think she'll play into it or cut it off there?" Rose pondered.

"Oh, she better keep going. I don't just want a confession, I want to catch him in the act. Come on, Pond," she urged at Amy's face on the screen.

Amy made a show of looking around, then shrugged, hopped the bar and opened Jack's register, taking out a large amount of money, then sliding back across the bar. "All right, but if I go down for this, I know your secrets so you better follow through and fix that tape."

"If I do, will you go out with me?" he asked, trying to look suave, but not pulling it off.

"Sure." she replied, nonchalantly. "But we should go, yeah? Go do your magic." She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Rose shuddered just watching it. "She's a braver woman than me," she muttered, then turned to Donna. "Now what?"

"Now we wait. He'll try to access the network and he'll find a nasty surprise waiting for him when he does. He may think he's the only computer literate person working here, but he's wrong. John's not just a genius in the kitchen, he's a genius. Period."

"A genius? Talking about me, by any chance?" asked Amy, who had just entered the office, holding out the stack of money she'd taken from the register.

"Well, yeah. You too. Well done," said Donna.

"Blimey, how much did you take?" asked Rose.

Amy shrugged. "Enough for it to be convincing."

"Well, again. Nicely done. Give that here." Donna said, snatching the money from Amy's hand, then peeling a few bills off and handing them back to her. "For your trouble. And for you, Rose. To cover the last couple of days," she said, handing some of the rest to Rose.

Rose was about to thank her, but just then Donna's phone rang.

"Yes? All right, then. Yeah, I will. Okay, bye." Donna hung up, then quickly turned back to the computer. "The next part of the show is starting." she muttered to the other two. Amy and Rose leaned in behind her to watch the screen.

At first the feed was of an office similar to Donna's, Rose assumed it must be the Doctor's. But then the screen changed it was a laptop camera facing out on Adam as he typed. He was muttering indecipherably to himself as he worked. He seemed to be in the coffee shop across the street from the restaurant.

Suddenly sirens could be heard approaching, through the computer and through the restaurant. The doors behind Adam burst open and they watched as he was handcuffed and led away by the police, until one of the officers shut down the laptop and the feed was severed.

Rose and Amy had leaned against each other, supporting each other as they laughed. "Did you see his face?" cackled Amy.

"Serves him right." said Donna, wiping tears of laughter from her eye.

"How did that work, then?" Rose asked, after a minute or two had passed.

"Oh, I could tell you, but I think the Doctor would prefer to do it himself. Go on over to the kitchen, he's got a surprise for you."

As Rose approached the kitchen, she saw a few of the other chefs leaving, laughing as they passed, including Rory and Ianto. They grinned conspiratorially at each other, breaking into laughter as they passed by. When she entered the kitchen, she thought she could see why.

A table from the dining room had been moved to the the head of the kitchen, set immaculately for two, just as it was for their VIP tables in the dining room. There was a nametag with her name on it at the chair closest to her. She approached it, looking around the kitchen for some clue about what was going on.

"Sit down, please," the Doctor's voice echoed from across the kitchen, as the lights went out and the room was lit only by the candles on the table and set out along the front row of the counters, illuminating the rows of covered dishes laid out there.

"It occurs to me, Rose Tyler, that I am an idiot. Welll, I'm a genius, but I can be an idiot about a small number of subjects. And one of those subjects seems to be you. I never should have thought you were the thief. I already knew whoever it was had been tampering with the video feed, I really should have put it together faster than I did. And so, I wanted to apologize and make it up to you. And I'll do so in two parts. The first part you already witnessed, in Donna's office."

"That was you?" Rose interrupted. "How'd you manage that?"

"Well, let's just say once you made it glaringly obvious how much of an idiot I'd been, and pointed us in the right direction, I set a little trap for our friend Adam. I had the footage from the bar streaming to the police, and as soon as he accessed the internal network, it took over his computer, streaming all of his actions, including his camera's feed, directly to the police. And to us, of course. Though, that was just for fun. Don't tell the police that part when they question you." he added with a grin.

"Right, and the second part?"

"Well, we had a bit of a date planned the other night, before I went and ruined it all."

"By calling me a thief." Rose clarified.

"Yes…" he admitted, reluctantly.

"And not believing that there was anyway I could have been set up."

"Yeah…" he replied, pulling at his hair.

"Just wanted to make sure we're clear on how much groveling is in your future."

"Right! Well, groveling, yes! I've got it all planned out! You, Rose Tyler, were the inspiration behind the new menu. It's a collaboration with all my senior chefs, which was your idea, after all. So I thought it was only fair that you got to be the first one to taste it." he finished, smiling hopefully.

"Hmm, your terms are agreeable. On one condition. I want a promotion to server." she said, crossing her arms.

"Wellll, I don't really handle that side of things. But, considering you helped us catch the person responsible for all the theft…"

"After being accused of being said person." she inserted quickly.

"Right. I think I can put in a good word for you with Donna. Consider it done, on one condition."

"Oh, now you have conditions, too?" she asked, grinning.

"Yeah. You let me cook for you twice a week from now on. To assuage my guilt, I mean."

"Right. For the guilt." she laughed. "All right then, it's a deal."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." she replied, softly.

"Rose Tyler, I think this is the start of a beautiful menu!"
