How did you meet??? That is the question that sends Rosie and Ben Harfield's relationship into a whirlpool that eventually has them falling apart, despite the fact they have been together for 12 years! Who is Marianne? She's that goody goody of a marriage counsellor who asked them the so called ""innocent"" question in the first place....the lesson? That's for the audience to decide, but one might wonder on these possible alternatives: 1) Counselling is clearly notfor everyone 2) Counselling can sometimes be anything but innocent and 3) maybe it's just thank God for friends!

Who on earth would have though Ben would be taking relationship advise from an arse like Richard? Is that irony or incredulity i'm sensing??? Anyway, when Ben goes missing in a car accident, in a car that's not even his by the way, Rosie becomes excessively agitated. A nostalgic Rosie and Ben succumb to the lustful goodtimes they once shared together and look back on an unfortunate circumstance that nearly left them begging!

Rosie agrees to play happy families and host a wake for Ben's dead uncle. The event is excruciating and becomes even more surreal thanks to the contributions of Abby, Emily and Candice. While Rosie and Ben pretend to be living under the same roof in the present, they remember the events which lead to them living together in the first place.

Ben senses Rosie may be coping better with their separation than he anticipated and, prompted by Richard, hatches a plan to win her back. Rosie is determined to try and enjoy her new single status but she and Abby discover she's a little out of practice on the singles scene. Rosie and Ben remember an ill-fated drive across the Nullabor.

ROSIE'S apprehension about LEWIS visiting BEN at his new flat for the first time seems warranted when another of RICHARD'S business schemes lands BEN - and LEWIS - in jail. ROSIE'S attempt to re-invigorate her career is derailed by a mix up with CANDICE'S car and her own brush with the law. In counseling, ROSIE and BEN explore a long standing belief that ROSIE sacrificed her career for BEN. EMILY is again being pursued - this time not by a young man but by a debt collector.

ROSIE remembers when BEN'S work, late night movies, and worst of all - football - took precedence over their sex life. BEN recalls the season his team made the finals. CANDICE is shocked to learn the real reason for RICHARD'S lack of sexual interest in her. LIV and ADAM are happy despite patches of predictable marital sex. EMILY decides to try a new approach to dating.
