Misplaced Pages

After an out of control pause during a phone call, Susan invites Steve to dinner, offering to cook. While discussing foreplay, Jeff warns Steve of the perils of falling into the 'sock gap' and also to examine Susan’s remote controls.

Jeff sees a beautiful young woman alone in a pub. The attraction is mutual, but she is Israeli, only speaks Hebrew and cannot communicate without the help of her interpreter. They chat and end up creating a huge confusion, with the viewer shown the conversation from both sides to illustrate just how the miscommunication occurs. The girls are just jealous of the attractive Israeli.

Jeff falls in love with a woman who commutes on the train with him (Alison King), of whom he has only seen her leg. In making conversation with her, he claims that he has a wooden leg; she reveals that her brother is also an amputee, and introduces Jeff to him and his disability support group.

At the pub, the guys discuss celebrities whom they are infatuated with. Steve's is news presenter Mariella Frostrup, whom he then runs into on the way to the toilet. As he leaves for a dinner with Susan and her parents, he accidentally drops his phone. Jane has been telling the girls about how she meets celebrities by slipping her phone into their pockets. Believing the dropped phone to be Sally's, Jane puts it Frostrup's pocket with the intention of reclaiming the "lost" phone. This causes confusion when Susan calls the number during the dinner.

Jane is sacked due to her eccentricities, and, after an "overdose" that consists of the appropriate dosage of painkillers, decides to become a children's TV presenter. She shows Sally, Steve, and Susan her new creation: Jake the Snake, a truth-telling sock puppet. However, she loses control of Jake, who expresses her honest opinions of everyone, including her boss (Shaughan Seymour), lately arrived to offer her job back to her. In the end, she retains her job due to popular opinion, with her boss fired instead.

Steve gets a wedding invitation and begins to freak out, as he believes this will plant dreams of wedding bells in Susan's head, especially since they are celebrating their own one-year anniversary that evening. Jane and Sally, invited to the same wedding, fret over the fact that the bride is younger than they are.

At the pub, Patrick trips over the mother of an old flame, who seduced him, and attempts to sneak past her; however, when she does not notice him, he charges back in to restore his (perceptions of) virility. She later tells him she remembers him. He apologises to her - but she is horrified that he thinks she was the mother, as she is actually the daughter.

Jane meets a handsome man in the bar who invites her to go to his flat. She attends wearing nothing but her coat and shoes, but upon arrival discovers that it is a dinner party which has several guests.

Susan and Steve's relationship has become complacent; whenever she asks for an opinion, he answers, "It's up to you," and whenever he gets up to go anywhere, she asks, "Where are you going?" Meanwhile, Susan is having issues with her new French client, Giselle, referred to her by Julia. After chewing out Giselle in fluent French, a man starts hitting on her, mistakenly assuming her to be French, and Susan goes along with it instead of setting him straight. She then discovers her mobile phone has lost all its numbers. Attempting to phone Steve in her French accent, she accidentally calls Bruce's Bar and Grill, run by Australian Dick Darlington. He informs her that his establishment is located next to "Susan's Bar," named after an Englishwoman who slept her way across the continent due to her great love of Australians. Susan, believing herself to be said woman, is mortified. The episode then flashes back to view Steve's day, in which he gives his number to a girl at the bar by mistake. To avoid her, he fabricates "Bruce's Bar and Grill" and his identity as Dick Darlington, and is completely fooled by Susan's accent.

The episode picks up immediately after the events of the previous series, with Susan leaving Steve's apartment. Though he chases after her, she announces that their relationship is over. The remainder of the episode takes place in split screen, with dialogue timed to not overlap.

The guys gather at Steve's flat, and the girls at Susan's. Steve attempts to phone Susan several times, but always hangs up on the first ring. Susan, meanwhile, attempts unsuccessfully to pretend she is not waiting for him to call. She also expresses the fatuity of glamour magazines' sexual advice - "A hundred pages of 'Men are useless bastards' and an article on why you should wake them up with a blow job!" - and how much Jane's voice makes her grind her teeth. Finally the trios head out - the boys to a strip club, and the girls to drink wine at the beauty parlour where Sally works.

Jeff accepts a date with his colleague Wilma. The others try to guide him through the date remotely by means of an earpiece, but Wilma's cunning ways prove too much for Jeff—and Steve.

After an accidental tongue slip inspired by Jane, Jeff manages to worm his way out of Wilma's charm by telling her that his girlfriend is dead and that he is not ready to move on yet. However, she comes to his apartment to continue to try to seduce him. Julia, who was leaving town for a business meeting, has instead stayed at his apartment as she was too ill to travel. Wilma discovers the truth and angrily leaves.

During a five-way phone call between Steve, Susan, Patrick, Sally and Jane, some wild opinions and shocking secrets are revealed within the group, including Patrick having had sex with a woman who was 5 months pregnant.

Oliver and Jane run into each other at the supermarket, and begin to feel each other out. Oliver says that he is anxious and socially awkward when talking to women he wants to have sex with. Jane asks to come into Oliver's flat, but he realises that he has been single for so long he has simply forgotten to hide his pornography any more. They expose each other emotionally, and when Oliver tells Jane that she "makes up any old rubbish just to get attention", Jane takes all her clothes off.

After discovering Patrick actually did have sex with Jane, Sally looks through his cupboard to find the tape, but instead finds an engagement ring intended for her amongst the homemade porn videos.

Oliver and Jane are about to have sex in her bedroom, but he is put off by a framed photo of Steve near her bed. Steve arrives, letting himself in with the key to the flat that Jane will not take back from him. Susan, now in labour, is with him, and lies on the bed next to Oliver.
