Newly promoted Mark decides to enjoy his additional power and wealth by splashing out on a boiler, a 'creamy elephant' sofa and by finding Jeremy a job in the office. Things are also looking promising for Mark in his pursuit of Dobby, the company IT girl. However, a routine fire drill puts his plans into total disarray.
Mark makes a final play for Dobby, the object of his desires. Meanwhile, Jeremy meets a new love, Russian emigre Elena. Both guys are determined to impress, but one of them is an expectant father. And when the pregnant Sophie spills the beans, both Mark and Jeremy's worlds change forever.
Jeremy realises that he's in love with Elena and decides to be less selfish in order to win her affection. He also thinks it might be a good idea to tell her he loves her, but Mark isn't so sure.
Mark discovers that Jeremy's girlfriend Elena has a guilty secret. But should he tell him when Jez is clearly so happy? In addition to this, Alan Johnson offers Mark the chance to go into business with him. Mark, while reassuring himself that this is his dream offer, begins to see Johnson in a new light. Big Suze inadvertently brings Mark and Jeremy's problems to a head.
As a last desperate hurrah before the baby arrives, Mark and Jeremy decide to throw a party. Mark sees it as his final opportunity to reignite his relationship with Dobby, while Jeremy imagines it's a chance to make Elena insanely jealous. But as the evening proceeds, it all becomes a bit of an emotional roller-coaster
Elena and Gail's wedding is imminent, but Jeremy is busy plotting how to get rid of Gail and win Elena back. Meanwhile, Mark, although conflicted about becoming a father, is worried that Jeff is becoming a potential rival dad. Much to Sophie's delight, Mark decides to learn to drive so that he can take her to the hospital when the baby arrives, but learning to drive doesn't prove that easy.
