Sophie is in hospital in labour and Mark isn't really sure how he can be of help. Jeremy starts fancying a girl he meets in the waiting room, however she isn't quite 100% available.

After discovering Dobby has a boyfriend, Mark and Gerard become allies in a "Dobby club". Super Hans joins a band and Jez is excluded, but tries to get the upper hand through his new job with a record label owned by Zahra's boyfriend Ben.

In his efforts to impress the pretentious Zahra Jeremy decides to host a book club for her and her friends in his flat though disaster strikes when it becomes apparent that he has never read a book - apart from 'Mr Nice'. Mark meanwhile battles with Kenneth in order to gain the favours of Dobby but finds that he might need some help after all to satisfy her.

Mark and Jeremy get trapped in a house on the day of Mark's baby's Christening.

Mark has his family over to the flat for Christmas dinner, as well as Dobby, who he is finally going out with, except he hasn't told his parents yet.

It's New Year's Eve. Mark wants to find Dobby and sort things out between them, Jeremy just wants to have a good time. However newly-single Zahra has invited Jeremy to move in with her.
