Mark and Jeremy find themselves in competition for the same woman: Toni from next door. This is not the entire problem with Mark and his love life, rather, he is also lusting after Sophie, a co-worker, but finds himself at a loss with how to put his feelings into action. Jeremy is also pre-occupied, but not with love, with his music.

Jeremy faces a dilemma: money vs. art. Should he put all his time and effort into his music and try to 'make it' or should he be like Mark and get a 9 to 5 job to pay the bills (including three months of rent owed to Mark). Sophie is still the object of Mark's desires and he still fumbles about trying desperately to let her know how he feels.

Mark and Jeremy go to a party to try and find some long lost love, or perhaps someone for the night. At the party Mark meets a cool goth 'teenager' named Valarie, who wants to take their acquaintance to the next level: bowling! This gives Jeremy a chance to hook up with Toni, and allows Mark to take his mind off of Sophie . . . or will it?

Mark's attention is distracted from Sophie as he contemplates his homosexual tendency and/or bi-curious nature. What is the source of all this confusion? Alan Johnson! A handsome, charismatic, suave, successful businessman. Mark is so enamoured with him that he is considering partnering up and moving to Cardiff, which has Jeremy at a loose end. Jeremy has been spending quality time with Super Hans, but is weary of becoming roommates.

Mark is more than a little bitter about being turned down for a promotion he feels he is more than deserving of. To make things worse, Sophie has been placed in the position (as an interim). Meanwhile, the relationship between Super Hans and Jeremy begins breaking down when Toni gets in between them.

The season finale sees Mark finally taking some action with Sophie, but will it pay off? Jeremy is facing not only the passing of a relative, but also his own forthcoming passing, whenever that may be. In preparation, he is searching for some guidance or meaning in life.
