Who would have thought a trip to the seaside in a stolen ambulance would have led to this? Caroline has to come to terms with the devastating consequences of Guy's incest-fueled joyride, while Joanna has to come to terms with the fact that she accidentally slept with her son.
Guy has to live without a driving licence and Statham has to live without sex - will either of them survive? And just when Caroline thought she'd climbed all the ladders, she slips down the longest snake on the board, and she's back to Square One.
A documentary crew are in the hospital, so everyone just has to act normally. Well, there's a first time for everything. Sue makes life hell for Joanna and Guy, while penniless Martin tries his hand at being a sperm donor.
Attractive single white Guy seeks accommodation, and a new member of staff upsets the apple cart (or whatever they use to transport patients these days).
Dr Statham enters politics - at least the manifesto will be grammatically correct. And Mac's past catches up with him - luckily not literally, or he might meet his former self, which sci-fi authors assure us can be catastrophic. Other catastrophic things include Martin becoming a pimp.
Statham is unusually cheerful, but it will probably end in tears. Mac finds it hard to adjust to his new role, Martin hires a private detective and Caroline has a hot date. Guy is green with envy, Joanna's cousin is green with makeup - one leads to bloodshed, the other to death.
Caroline has to be cruel to be kind, while Joanna and Statham struggle to conceal the incident with the stuffed heron. Sue turns private dick and Martin comes into some money.
Paranoia reaches breaking point for Joanna and Statham, and they're forced to take drastic action. Mac, Guy and Martin make an offer to Caroline that she can't refuse. Only she does. Or does she?
The end is nigh - Caroline is now engaged to Guy, while Mac has very little time to live. Gripped by desperation and paranoia, dwarf-killing duo Statham and Joanna are on the run, jumping relentlessly out of frying pans and into fires..
