Facing the truth isnt always easy- is it better to live in denial or to seek a suitable distraction? Gabrielle and Jason live upstairs, but as Jason struggles under the weight of his profession as a lawyer will he marry Gabrielle for all the wrong reasons? Alex, a successful doctor, is plagued by insecurities as flatmate Evan continues to write his novel. Into their lives bounces the eternal optimist Kelly with plenty to share.

There are some things one has to endure alone - without the helop of friends or family. But it is this experience that informs one of the loyalty that exists around them - and just who to trust when the chips are down. Richie shines in the celebrity of an actor's life while Will realises he has to stand alone.

The unspoken rules of a relationship define an understanding between two people. But when those rules are compromised and push comes to shove the consequences can be ruinous. Sam saves Will from an embarrassing and unprecendented performance with a surprising confrontation.

The only thing we can expect in life is the unexpected. Richie finally gives into temptation and desire, acting out a surpise sexual encounter with Simon.

When there's a fork in the road - which path should you take? Richie's head is spinning after his encounter with Simon and feels his life is heading in a new direction. Jason deals with the consequences of a major indiscretion. Evan becomes increasingly entranced by Carmen and jealousy ruins Sam and Will's plans for an indulgent day in bed.

Can we define ourselves by what we do, how we do it, or by whatothers believe we should be? Kelly explores multiple relationship questionaires and realises how people define themselves according to their romantic expectations. Jason and Gabrielle rock the foundations with their bitter breakup and Alex becomes very much caught up in the middle.

We are not the sum of our life experiences, but the beneficiary of others' shared experiences. When everyone bonds over life's many ups and downs they begin to understand each other more, breaking down some barriers to share a formative and enlightening time together.

In a state of limbo, one's instincts cease working - instead of moving forward, one remains stuck to the ground. Richie strugles with his encounter with Simon and eventually confides in Will. Jason and Gabrielle finalise their situation.

Love strikes joy into your heart and then strikes a fatal blow. Gabrielle's arguments with Jason hit an all time low. Alex has a soul searching perspective on love and decides to embrace the single, independent life. And Carmen and Evan's relationship falls on hard times.

After the bomb's been dropped you have to deal with the fallout. Will gets stoned and forces himself on an unsuspecting Sam. Eric invites Alex on an innocent weekend away but has ulterior motivies and Evan becomes delusional about his relationship with Carmen.
