But their dating anonymity is all about to change when Dana learns of a long-standing dinner party Amy is hosting at the loft - and the fact Peter is attending and bringing someone else as his date. On a mission to find her own suitable dinner companion, Dana turns to her new handsome and British boss, Tucker, but both Peter and Dana's evenings do not go as planned, on "Manhattan Love Story" airing TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET).
