Following some (for-once) useful advice from her mum, Donna realises she is not up the duff. But Gaz has adjusted to the idea of being a father, even looking favourably on the chance to be as stable and responsible as Patrick Duffy. Janet tells him that even though he won't be a father; he can still be a 'responsible adult manly man' by having a 'loving adult relationship' with Donna. Inspiration strikes and Gaz invites Donna out on a proper date. Donna is thrilled until she finds herself drinking a can of brew in the promised fine drinking establishment - Gaz's garage. Meanwhile, Louise exercises her psychic powers and, following the spirits' career advice, Jonny undertakes a new career involving a black leotard….

5. Crusty Curtains

Donna moves in with Gaz and they decide to each write a 'list of demands' that they can compromise on. Donna's list is short and reasonable. Gaz's, however, is pages long and includes having her speaking in a Japanese accent on a Wednesday and referring to him at all times as 'Grand Master Ramrod'. Jonny isn't speaking to Janet, despite Janet's pleas that her snog with Andy didn't mean anything - he didn't even feel her bum. Somehow this fails to console Jonny. Louise is upset that Jonny and Janet might split up. Her attempts at reconciliation give Gaz a cunning idea.
