Episode 2

Alex meets an old flame when Helen posts his details on a dating website called Boyfriends With Baggage.

It’s almost Valentines Day and Alex has decided it’s time for him to start dating again. Or rather Helen’s decided. She posts his details on a dating website. While opting out of Valentines herself by arranging something as unromantic as possible – to have dinner with her elderly accountant.

Alex says no to online dating, but one night lodging with Stephen is enough to convince him he better find a girlfriend to move in with ASAP. He rings Helen for his password, she’s secretly logged into his account having a snoop but quickly logs off, and he discovers a drunken video-message from Sarah Stephens, an old girlfriend.

Meanwhile Stephen has fallen in love, and asks Helen’s advice on how to give up his lecherous ways. But come Valentine’s Night, Stephen quickly becomes aroused as a side effect of being emotionally open; prompting him to ask his beloved to do something disgusting.

And Helen’s night doesn’t turn out as planned when her accountant sends Raz his very good-looking – but gay – deputy instead. And Sarah turns out to be funny and attractive. Alex is seeing her again the following week…..
