| 2 | "Flat-Pack" | Ian FitzGibbon | Tom MacRae | 17 October 2011 |
|
Following the opening episode, the threesome now have to figure out how to explain their unusually triangular relationship to the world. And most crucially – to Alice's domineering and not entirely nice mother Lorraine (who is not fond of Mitch but adores Richie). But how to explain the threeway daddy-mummy-daddy set up? Meanwhile, Mitch and Richie (having all jointly sworn off drink and drugs in solidarity with Alice) stumble across a stash of drink and drugs. Will they be strong enough to resist temptation whilst also assembling all the new nursery flat-pack? Or is it just an immutable fact of life that flat-pack is far more easily assembled on drugs? Guest starring Pauline McLynn and Amanda Rawnsley | ||||
| 3 | "Builder" | Ian FitzGibbon | Tom MacRae | 24 October 2011 |
|
Alice, Mitch and Richie attend their first antenatal class. To everyone's surprise Alice and Richie are hopeless and Mitch is an amazing proto-father. Alice and Richie go into panic mode about their suitability as future parents, and so Mitch entrusts them with a robot baby from the antenatal class to practice on. All they have to do is feed it, rock it, change it – and not totally destroy it. Richie also meets – or rather pulls – a genuinely amazing man, Dave The Builder. Richie likes him, but only to a point – he's not grown-up enough to have a grown-up relationship. Can Mitch persuade Richie that maybe it's time to give love a chance? Guest starring Adam Garcia | ||||
| 4 | "No Funds" | Ian FitzGibbon | Tom MacRae | 31 October 2011 |
|
Mitch still hasn't got a job, and now his lack of funds is starting to become a problem. Alice needs reliable support more than anything right now – the full reality of what's about to pop out of her in six months time is starting to hit home, and with the impending 12 Week Scan they're actually going to get to see their baby for the first time. It's time for Mitch to step up to the plate. Unfortunately for Mitch, he spectacularly fails to do so. Which is when Ben turns up. Ben is tall, handsome, rich, charming, successful and Alice's ex from four and a half years ago. Back in the day, Alice dumped Ben then started dating Mitch, and when Mitch actually meets the man who he replaced his insecurity starts going into overload. Ben is everything a woman could want in a man – but surely when it comes down to it, Alice will always chose her Mitch? Guest starring Travis Oliver, James Puddephatt, Ian FitzGibbon and Santam Bhogal | ||||

To Alice's amazement – Richie and Dave are now dating! Proper boyfriends and everything. With Richie's birthday approaching a day of fun, fun, fun is being planned. But when Dave reveals he has alternative plans for Richie, tensions arise between the friends as Alice and Mitch conspire to keep Richie to themselves. When plans backfire, Richie ends up leaving Alice and Mitch to spend the day with Dave, who unveils his own special birthday surprise.

Alice, just a month from popping, has decided to throw a baby-shower, and so Lorraine (Alice's mum), Sue (Mitch's mum) and Jenny (Richie's mum) converge on the flat to deluge her with presents and attention. Alice in turn has taken to baking, not-swearing and dressing like a proper woman. Mitch and Richie are horrified. Mitch and Richie escape for the evening to a local bar, and run into Wendy; a ballsy, feisty, fabulous girl who reminds them very much of a pre-pregnancy Alice. Spending time with Wendy is wonderful, but it's like cheating on Alice. Mitch and Richie vow to call off the 'affair', but when Princess Lullaby Dreamtime – a nauseating baby shower gift – arrives in the flat, the combination of that, Alice and The Mothers are more than Mitch and Richie can bear. How long can they hold out before they're drawn back into Wendy's arms, and how will Alice react when the two women finally meet?
