Donna wants to impress her old friend Catherine, while Louise becomes the victim of a flasher.

Donna comforts her boss after the death of his mother, Karen decides to take care of a stray cat, and Louise acquires some unusual art during a stint in charge of the cafe. Meanwhile, Tanya sets her sights on Karl.

Donna loses faith in humanity when a kebab is stolen from her hands and nobody except Carl seems to understand how upsetting the incident was. Louise and Karen fall out when Karen leaves Louise alone in a nightclub (again), but things could be looking up for Louise - she has a great business idea, but is the world ready for it?

Donna is angry when she finds out that Carl is selling "their" house, Karen finds it difficult to end her relationship with a very needy man and Louise discovers the thrill of shoplifting.

Karen is pregnant by Billy. She doesn't want him to know, but Louise tells him anyway.
