- It's Alice's birthday and her star chart, she is reliably informed, means the time is right to meet her perfect partner. So when her colleagues arrange a sure-fire date for her, what can possibly go wrong? Elsewhere, Gil is struggling to write the script for Love Soup and his efforts are hampered by several distractions, including his naked neighbour Irene at her bathroom window, a nightmare dinner party, and the amorous intentions of a beautiful narcoleptic. If that wasn't bad enough, he also has the wrath of God to contend with. Meanwhile, Alice receives an obscene text from a 13-year-old boy. However, all is revealed when he turns up one day at her flat with a very interesting drawing...
- A young medical student has developed an infatuation with Alice. His partner is determined to nip his 'schoolboy crush' in the bud. She believes it's up to Alice to sort the matter out by demonstrating that she's not the 'mythic sex goddess' of his dreams. Unfortunately for Alice, this is just one of many problems vying for her attention. Also on her mind are some serious ethical issues raised by Cleo's love life, a highly damaging article in the store's in-house magazine and a truly bizarre revelation in her local cemetery. Meanwhile, for Gil, the road to a disastrously ill-judged sexual encounter begins when he attends a court case involving a man who died laughing while watching 'Lollipop Men' - the sitcom he very wisely quit two years previously. He quickly falls under the spell of the beautiful Vanessa. But their plans to spend a romantic evening together come unstuck in an unexpected way.
- Alice is "quaking in her boots" at the prospect of addressing a hall full of delegates at her company's sales conference, while Gil finds himself with the dubious honour of officiating at the opening of a neighbour's friend's new heated swimming pool. It's bad enough that Alice has to share a hotel room with the gorgeous Rochelle - a junior account manager and part-time model with "the personality of a pencil and a body you would kill for". But then there's the added horror of a sexual encounter from 10 years earlier coming back to haunt her in a very unusual way. Back at home, Gil is dragged off by Irene to investigate the activities of a suburban prostitute. There's an even bigger surprise in store when he discovers the hard way the repercussions of inviting a former Hell's Angel out to dinner. As events continue to spiral off in unexpected directions, both Gil and Alice find themselves facing serious ethical dilemmas.
- Alice finds that putting her flat on the market is fraught with more problems than she imagined ... and when she gets the locks changed on her door, events take a very unexpected turn. Meanwhile, American writer Gil, cannot believe the chaos he has caused with a stray remark to his neighbours ... will his promising relationship with an attractive TV producer go any smoother?
- Alice's search for a new flat prompts her to reflect that properties are like people: just when you seem to have found the ideal candidate, there's always one fatal flaw you know you could never live with. And so it proves when a chance meeting with an old colleague leads to an unfortunate evening with an avant garde artist, and her forced complicity in some 'extra-marital semi-incestuous hanky panky'. Meanwhile, she's unsure what to make of the strangely unnerving 'aura' surrounding Milly's new boyfriend. Gil, meanwhile, has also been set up with a dream date - the dangerously erotic actress Pascal Peters, who he naturally fears is 'probably into cocaine and rough sex and game-show hosts'. The two have arranged to meet at a local production of Waiting For Godot. But, as Gil's evening suddenly takes a nihilistic turn, will life end up imitating art? To compound matters, he has barely recovered from a highly embarrassing encounter in the pub, when he's forced to confront a major sexual fantasy from his youth.
- For Alice the promise of love and a whole new direction to her life takes root after she learns that a member of her family is nursing a dark secret and desperately needs her help. Meanwhile, for Gil the road to romantic fulfillment begins, of all places, in a dentist's chair and ends up on the set of his latest screenplay...
- Alice and Douglas go to the Royal Court to see a play starring one of Alice's all time favourite actors Gordon Bexter but she is rather put off to learn that he is to direct a play about necrophilia 'Kiss of Death' by an avant-garde German playwright. With her old friend Lloyd becoming available again Alice believes that she and Douglas are not suited to each other and should break up but he is very persistent in trying to change her mind.
- Ever the neurotic Alice is worried when regional boss Catherine Sumpter, who is allegedly a lesbian, asks to meet her in a hotel though she escapes unscathed. She is also concerned that driving instructor Ted may be asking for too much relationship advice but the lesson ends up getting car-jacked whilst Cleo is annoyed to read in her boyfriend's journal that she is not good in bed and Milly falls for the romantic shadow of a man who lurks outside her flat.
- Cleo tries to set Alice up on a blind date with one of the department's sales reps but it falls flat because Alice only has eyes for the young man she met at the cash dispensing machine. Meanwhile Milly starts to doubt her boyfriend's fidelity and recruits Cleo to set a honey trap to test him. Needless to say it does not end well.
- Alice meets Mitch, an old school friend who is now a university lecturer and they go on a date. However she notices that one of his students is stalking him - which leads to some romantic role-playing. Milly and Cleo also have an encounter with the police following an ill-advised foray into speed dancing. Alice meets a man through a lonely hearts column but when he fails to show she tears up his photo.
- Whilst Milly dates a man who is part native American Cleo has a bizarre sexual encounter at the local recycling centre, leading to fantasies about S and M.

Meanwhile Douglas is finding it hard to cope with the break-down of his marriage and tries acupuncture to help forget her, as well as getting involved with Heather, his ironing lady.
- Whilst Alice begins to see Fae's bad habits there is good news for Douglas when it seems likely that a script he wrote some time ago will be turned into a film.
