Pulling

- Season 2

(2008)

Tanya re-encounters Karl and they end up having sex on the kitchen floor. Louise has sex with Oleg but is not happy when he falls asleep halfway through. Donna can't find anyone to go out with, let alone have sex, so she stays in for the evening, learning about global warming. Karen meets unstable ex-, Billy. OK so he did once try to kill her but, hey, they go back a long way.

To get one over on Oleg, Louise dates reformed flasher Mike. He gets into a fight but she stands by him, declaring,"O.K. so he might be a flasher but he's my flasher!" Donna's efforts to impress her old friend Catherine go predictably awry whilst Karen is appalled to find that Billy has married an Argentinian cleaning lady to give her a British passport.

Karen finds a dead mouse in her flat, and a cat, which she adopts. Donna consoles Ian, her boss, whose mother has died, leading her to believe she has potential as a counsellor. Louise is left in charge of the café and gets a local artist to brighten it up with unusual results. Tanya invites Karl back for a dinner party. It looks like it's all on again.

Louise has a big row with Karen following a girls' night out to celebrate Louise's birthday. It was meant to be for the girls only but Karen pulled, and got off with a man, leaving the bash and leading Louise to accuse her of disloyalty and to move out.

Donna is unhappy to learn that Karl is moving to Italy, selling his house at a vast profit in so doing. Karen gets involved with a guy called Justin, who is emotionally heavy going and she finds it very difficult to dump him simply because he won't stop crying. Louise discovers a new and very addictive pastime - shoplifting.

Karen believes she is pregnant by Billy. She is not keen for him to find out but Louise tells him and he promises to mend his ways and stand by her but she has her doubts. Louise finds a new man in her life with pumpkin risotto as their aphrodisiac. Donna sleeps around to erase the memory of Karl, her one true love, though he re-appears. Has he changed his mind or is he just saying goodbye?
