Hodge and Kath’s seemingly carefully planned wedding anniversary celebrations go slightly awry when some of the guests are waylaid. Meanwhile, Glyn goes to the extreme lengths of taking salsa lessons in an attempt to catch the eye of his gorgeous school sweetheart Julie, and the lads help a worse-for-wear comrade in need, with disastrous consequences.

When the lads try to pep Daz up after yet another row with girlfriend Colleen, Glyn’s first day in his new job as a chauffeur for local psycho gangster Mad Tony is badly affected; Hodge’s questionable fashion choice inadvertently lands the lads in more than a spot of bother and they soon learn that a friend in need is a friend indeed...

A schoolboy row resurfaces between Daz and Hodge, threatening to disrupt Glyn’s fancy dress birthday party plans. Beggsy gets a surprise visit from his ex-wife Mandy, and quickly realises that the embers of their relationship are still smouldering. Meanwhile Glyn learns that honesty really is the best policy when trying to win the affection of Julie.

Glyn’s new bromance with an old friend unsettles the group who’re suspicious of his motives; Hodge finds himself in unfamiliar territory when Kath broaches the subject of starting a family, and as Hodge’s plumbing skills prove a little amateur, Daz moves into Colleen and Bev’s place, using Beggsy as his bargaining tool to clinch the deal.

Hodge and Kath’s romantic weekend away turns out to be anything but when some unexpected visitors join them; Beggsy finds himself finally enjoying the spoils he’s been missing out on in the single life and Colleen’s frisky new ways have Daz asking himself some difficult questions.

Glyn scuppers the lads' plans to go to the biggest football game in history meaning he’ll have to go to big lengths to make it up to them; Hodge and Kath have a trial-course of parenting only to learn it’s not all it’s cracked up to be and Daz has to enlist the help of Colleen’s cooky housemate Bev to spring a surprise on his girlfriend.
