One bar, three different points of view, the same 9½ minutes.
At the end of last season Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) discovered they were pregnant, confirmed bachelor Patrick (Ben Miles) and Sally (Kate Isitt) finally admitted their true feelings for each other, and loser in love Jane (Gina Bellman) was, once again, left on her own.
But it's not all doom and gloom for Jane. After a trip to the dating agency, she has a blind date with a guy called Oliver (Richard Mylan). But is his job might be a problem.
Meanwhile, Patrick and Sally face the first problem in their relationship, and Susan attempts to talk to Steve about the imminent birth of their child. Between Alien comparisons and Steve's nervous swallowing, Susan finally understands what's going on in Steve's head and she solves the problem with one good snog.
It's late at night, and they are all on a phone call that will not die.
Revelations are coming out thick and fast. Steve is a feckless, feelingless wanker, Susan suffers from raging hormones, Sally warns of jelly midriffs, and Patrick has a pregnancy fetish. Even more troubling is that fact that Jane keeps the keys to all her ex-lovers's flats.
Since the dawn of time, men and women have been falling in love, and men have been trying to get home straight afterwards. Can fallen playboy Patrick ever find his way home from the arms of his one true love and get a decent night's sleep? Not likely.
As Patrick turns to Steve for some answers, he's not the only one looking for manly advice. Sally is having a dinner party and Jane has asked Oliver to drive her home afterwards…
Pain-relief or natural birth? That is the latest decision facing parents-to-be, Susan and Steve.
They head to their antenatal (prenatal) class and Susan takes Sally along as back-up just in case Steve "can't cope." But Sally, who was initially flattered, soon finds herself seeking the solace of a string quartet and some back-up for herself.
Meanwhile, Steve finds himself haunted by the ghost of spanking lesbians past and Jane tries to "out-keen" Oliver.
Is it possible that lifetime loser-in-love Oliver might just get somewhere with lifetime loser-in-love Jane? Can a man win the heart of a woman when his apartment is a little "un-edited"? What happens to a living room that has lost the battle with magazine nudity?
Oliver's girlfriend walked out on him more than a year ago and between the accumulation of garbage and porn, it's safe to say his apartment has seen better days. After bumping into Jane in the supermarket, Oliver finds himself in an uncomfortable dilemma when Jane asks if she can come up and have a look at his place.
As Susan goes into labor, Steve swings into action and does his best to remain unruffled through the natural childbirth. Fortunately an old friend returns from the Greek islands for the big event. But there is something definitely different about him…
Meanwhile, Sally is troubled by a secret from Patrick's past and can't resist opening up a box labeled "Sally, don't look in this box," and Oliver and Jane try go one step further, but they keep getting interrupted.
