All Josh wants is a quiet night in with Jonathan Creek and a pizza, but some dreams are too ambitious. First Kate interrupts, having been on the shortest date since, well, her last one. And Owen gets back early from the medical trial he was supposed to be doing all weekend. He calms Josh's concerns by explaining that he not only got the placebo but also the nurse's number. Then, as Josh continues to wait for his pizza, things get worse when Geoff the landlord arrives and tries to nick all their furniture.

Josh discovers Geoff is a Fifa genius and persuades him to take over Joshenham Hotspur for his annual match against his uni frenemy. Kate goes on a date with a dad and ends up competing with his fraudulent ten-year-old for his affection. Owen is landed with a new work colleague who challenges his laid-back approach to life. And when Owen's tips are threatened, he is forced to take decisive action.

The old lady upstairs blackmails Josh into accepting and carrying all her heavy deliveries as it turns out she runs the building like a mob boss. Talented mimic Owen starts to fall for a beautiful American woman who is under the impression he is from Cork rather than Carmarthenshire, leaving him wondering whether he could keep the accent up for the rest of his life. Kate gets roped into helping Geoff nurse a sick bird back to health but doesn't realise quite how big a bird she is saving.

Kate's yummy mummy friend makes her Godmother to a bawling baby boy - only to seemingly exploit her for free childcare. Owen tries to teach Josh how to use the gym properly, but Josh makes a nemesis in spin class and also lacks the body confidence to use the communal showers. Landlord Geoff has been barred from constantly turning up at the flat to do odd jobs, and this stand-off reveals just how shoddy the plumbing and electrics are.

Josh's work life receives a boost when his agent gets him a gig supporting a big act on tour. However, Josh struggles to play nice with his rival and ends up snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Meanwhile, Owen starts dating former X Factor star, Diana Vickers. All is going well until Diana gets lined up to appear in the next series of Strictly. When Owen learns about the “curse of Strictly” he starts to panic about their relationship. Kate's competitive side gets the better of her as she takes on landlord, Geoff, at the 1980s property board game, Hungry Hungry Landlords.

Josh's new girlfriend, Millie, takes him to a high-ropes course for a date. However, when Josh gets stuck on a zip wire, things spiral out of his control, and he ends up accidentally going viral on the internet. Luckily, landlord Geoff has been doing a night course in psychotherapy and can help Josh through this dark period. Meanwhile, Kate and her mum, Judith, attend a new production from an immersive theatre company set inside a failing business. With the help of a hipflask, the pair truly immerse themselves. Owen finally gets round to taking his driving test, but when he meets the examiner, Huw, his chances don't look promising.
