For some reason, Sally (Kate Isitt) thinks she might be pregnant, takes
a pregnancy test & persuades her friends Susan (Sarah Alexander) &
Jane (Gina Bellman) to take the test with her as sort of a control group
... & soon it turns out, one of them is pregnant, but in all her
excitements, Sally has forgotten which test is which.
Ausan's sure it's not her, as she & her boyfriend Steve (Jack
Davenport) have tried for 6 months & nothing has happened, they have
even gone to some specialists, which didn't necessarily work as at one
point Steve complained he couldn't masturbate in a clinic ...
So what about Jane ? Not long ago, she went to visit Jeff (Richard
Coyle), who like her has been left by his partner, to seduce him, but
before it could really get steamy, Jeff was called off - to the clinic
where Steve coldn't masturbate, to bring some proper porn as aide. So Jane
had her go with a pizzaman (Seun Shote).
Back in the now: Patrick (Ben Miles) has finally come rounbd to declare
his love for Sally (which has been hinted at ion earlier episodes), &
even though he makes it sound like he'd break up with her, she couldn't be
happier ... until Jane bursts in, overjoyed that her pregnancy test has
just proven she is not pregnant, even if she in the last few weeks has
shagged like nobody's business - which unfortunately her celibate
boyfriend James (Lloyd Owen), who has just come back from a few weks in
Germany, hears ...
For Sally, that can only mean ... she's pregnant, & Patrick won't
want her anymore ... until Susan comes in, too & reveals she is
pregnant to everyone, including Steve, mouth agape ...
Despite some funny scenes, this episode fails to really work as a
whole: Too much story was crammed into a mere half hour of time, there's
Steve's & Susan's pregnancy problems, the blossoming & diein g of
a romance between Jeff & Jane, & the long anticipated start of
Sally's & Patrick's relationship. It looks like (& was) the
typical final episode of a season, where all the narrative strands have to
be tied up one way or another, no matter if the story that ties them
together makes too much sense.
