Jack and Amanda have been together for years and are still in love - they even still have great sex. Rob and Claire are their oldest friends. In comparison to Rob's messy love life and Claire's trouble with men, Jack and Amanda seem to enjoy a perfect relationship. But it all begins to fall apart when Amanda catches Jack by surprise while he is enjoying some self love. Particularly as he foolishly admits to her that he sometimes does it while fantasising about women they both know (including Claire... ). Amanda tries to laugh it off, but she's jealous and becomes increasingly insecure about Jack's friendship with Claire, interpreting every nuance between them as proof of his infidelity. Jack attempts a reconciliation with Amanda, armed with flowers. As a conciliatory gesture, he throws his adult mags away. All seems to be hunky dory again, but is it really?

Ellie has got it all - great looks, bucket loads of confidence, her own business and a gorgeous solicitor boyfriend, Nick. But she wants a sense of permanancy and to know there's a future to their relationship. However, she's convinced that Nick is too frightened of commitment to pop the question. So, with her friend and PA Michael as a willing accomplice, Ellie hatches an elaborate scheme to get Nick down the aisle. She tries making Nick jealous, by flirting with Peter, and refusing to take his calls. When that fails she takes a huge gamble and books a church for the wedding. To trap Nick into proposing, all she has to do is make him believe he's about to lose her for good, so she concocts a story about a business deal in Paris that will take her out of the UK for three months. When Nick hears the message, he's furious she hasn't told him of the trip before.
