Michael is due to be godfather, getting shtick from Beth about his religious responsibilities. Sandra's loud sister arrives with her handsome trainee priest son Conall, as does Janet's domineering father, with his girls. All offer unwanted childcare advice. Laura and Jamie take the baby to discuss baptism with the local priest but are put off by a couple of religious maniacs whilst ...

Anxious to belong, Laura takes Emily to the park but gets mugged by the chav mothers. She appears to make a new friend in working mother Liz but ends up baby-sitting for her. Beth gets into a political argument in a cafe with vain, handsome toff Jolyon and they go on a date but his love of fox-hunting precludes any sex. His car repossessed, Keith becomes driver for Alan and after they have outwitted two yobs out to fleece them in a pub snooker game they become very good friends. Sadly he has told Sandra he works for a parcels firm and she is not pleased to see him and...

Laura is going for a day's work experience at Janet's firm so Jamie offers to have Emily though he has forgotten he has an exam on that day so entrusts his baby to Beth and Michael, who clash over child welfare and end up leaving Emily with Alan. Picked on by the patronizing Fiona Laura rings Jamie to bring Emily to her, causing him to leave the exam halfway through. However Fiona tumbles to the fact that Laura has a child and lets her leave work early. Fortunately Jamie sprints back to Alan's in time to have appeared with Emily all day. Keith meanwhile gets a job on ...

Michael organizes Jamie's eighteenth birthday party, collecting what he believes to be magic mushrooms to make the night go with a swing. In fact Beth has made sure they are harmless mushrooms but Michael still gets high on them. Laura, having turned down another party invite arrives but leaves again when Michael tells her Jamie is on drugs, leading to an argument and her storming out. Keith takes up yoga and a vegan diet to give himself strength and confidence to find a job but stops after Sandra has a false pregnancy scare.

Learning that Jamie is going out with Hannah, Laura goes on the net to find her own date, sophisticated 30-year-old Marcus. Beth's concern for Jamie ruins his date, and Marcus turns out to be an unwilling parent who rejects Laura when she says she has a baby. The whole evening, however, should serve to bring Laura and Jamie closer. Keith is approached by a model agent to use Emily in an ad campaign, and he is pleased to beat off the competition of professional parents - but less pleased to find the ad is for a warning against ringworm.

They are attending marriage guidance though the fact that Janet phones in her contributions does not bode well for the sessions.

Laura and Jamie do finally get it together and, fleeing an A level...
