The local council insists that Ben is disabled, and when they start sending him cheques in the mail, what can he do but play along with it until the wheels start coming off?

Michael is becoming more and more out of control until he comes home drunk one night and blurts out his deepest secret. His news comes as a bit of a shock to Ben, but Susan has more of a shock at Ben's reaction.

Ben forgets about Valentine's Day, but discovers that Susan has a more attentive admirer - Martin, the benign elderly widower from next door who is besotted with Susan and has built a shrine to her in his kitchen.

A young Australian backpacker catches Janey's eye, but is Ben's chip just on his shoulder or off the old block?

To prove how trendy and open-minded he is, Ben accompanies an embarrassed Michael to a gay club, where he gets chatted up by the adoring Rupert, who follows him home and sends him flowers.

Police turn up at the house following a local mugging and Ben agrees to be a part of an identity parade, but is picked out of the lineup as being the mugger and remanded in a cell with hard cases Carl and Terry.

When Janey has to sit with a poorly Kenzo, Ben volunteers to look after one of her elderly care clients for an evening - what could possibly go wrong?

Ben and Susan are on the verge of splitting up, but life apart isn't really as appealing as it first seems, especially when it involves living with Roger.

Kenzo's wealthy, successful Aussie father reappears, leaving Janey with a big decision to make about her future. Ben and Susan each campaign for their favoured option, but only Janey's heart can decide. (Final)
