Claire breaks up with Josh in the belief that he might be gay, which he himself may or may not yet believe. He has a chance to test Claire's theory when he is introduced to Tom's new friend, their new co-worker Geoffrey, who lets Josh know that he is gay himself and is interested. Regardless, Josh may not be ready to tell his friends and family, let alone the world, why Claire broke up with him beyond the more broad issue of them drifting apart. What is happening to Josh now is made all the more complicated by news from his dad that his mum has been admitted to the hospital, and that they have to decide what best to do about her post-release care. Meanwhile, Tom tells Josh that he is about to break up with Niamh, something he has said time and time before without ever having gone through with it. Written by Huggo

Josh has moved in temporarily with his mum following her attempted suicide, she who seems more concerned about the stigma associated with being deemed crazy than she is about her overall well-being. Because of mum's fragile mental state, dad is reluctant to see her and reluctant to let her know that he has been dating Mae, despite he wanting to do both. With Josh still needing a life of his own, he and mum talk about who will take care of her when he isn't around, that job which falls reluctantly to Aunty Peg, reluctant for both mum and Aunty Peg. In the process, Josh has an uncomfortable conversation with Aunty Peg. Meanwhile, Josh and Geoffrey go on a date, which has its uncomfortable moments if only because of Josh's preoccupation of the possibility of sex afterward and not being sure if he wants anything up his bum. And Josh and Claire's break-up has an effect on Tom and Niamh's evening together, that time when Tom plans to tell Niamh that he wants to break up with her. Written by Huggo

Aunty Peg believes Mum needs to do something different to get her out of her depression, that something being going to church despite Mum not being religiously minded.

As Mae leaves Dad drunk and stranded at a restaurant, Josh has to come to his rescue, with Geoffrey tagging along. Seeing Geoffrey and Dad together makes Josh see Geoffrey in a clearer light. Tom may finally have had enough of Niamh based on a conversation she initiates about sexually transmitted diseases. All these issues leave two people alone for the first time. They come to a head the next morning at that previously mentioned church service. Written by Huggo

Now that Josh has been unceremonious outed to his family, and Geoffrey identified as his boyfriend, Josh decides to break up with Geoffrey, realizing that his attraction to Geoffrey is only physical. Conversely, Mum decides to try online dating and asks Josh to help her in the process. This move, in turn, affects Dad and Mae's relationship, Mae who issues an ultimatum. Tom anxiously awaits hearing from Niamh so that they can discuss what to do about her pregnancy. The issue lures Tom back to Niamh emotionally. But as newly single Josh, Tom and Claire decide to go out clubbing, Josh tests his first foray into truly looking for a man on his own, while Tom and Claire decide how far to take their relationship, which they have not yet told Josh about, and as Tom thinks about the baby. Meanwhile, someone has reported Aunty Peg as a reckless driver, she who has to retake her driver's road test. She is determined to find out who is threatening her sense of independence.

In the lead up to Josh's twenty-first birthday where he and Mum disagree on how to celebrate the milestone, there are many other things going on in Josh's life.

That outing makes Geoffrey for the first time question their relationship. As Alan helps Rose clean up the house as she prepares to put it on the market for sale, she finds out about his relationship with Mae.

Josh gets embroiled in what is happening between Claire, Tom and Niamh, as Tom gets sucked back into Niamh's life in wanting to keep the baby. A specific revelation made to the group about Niamh's pregnancy may be the defining moment in what happens between Claire, Tom and Niamh. Written by Huggo

Aunty Peg's funeral and wake coincides with Josh's twenty-first birthday, the former which takes precedent for the day as Aunty Peg has basically dictated how the day should proceed, although Tom and Claire are holding a small party for Josh after the wake.

Another surprise attendee is Mae, who meets Rose for the first time, as Alan meets Rod also for the first time. The conclusion of the wake leads to different reactions by Josh and Mum about their respective lives. Written by Huggo
