Focuses around Thomas and his coming to terms with life and love in England.

Conscious that she indirectly caused Grace's death and unable to concentrate on her mock exams, Franky feels alienated from her friends and smothered by her well-intentioned gay dads, so when drug-pusher Luke reappears, she finds herself drawn to his violent lifestyle; some of it even rubs off on her at home. Counseling is no help, and when Nick tries to intervene when Luke starts another fight and ends up getting hurt, Frank almost relishes it. But after snorting cocaine before enforced sex with Luke, she realizes what a brute he is and is ultimately reconciled with her dads and Nick.

Angry at Alo for declaring his love for her and at her mother Shelley for moving her tubby, sex-mad boyfriend Eric into the house, Mini also discovers that she is pregnant and contacts her high-flying but absent father Gregory, staying in his riverside apartment and contemplating going to Australia with him although people tell her he'll let her down. Her college friends gate-crash Gregory's party and Alo gets thrown out after accusing Gregory's assistant Ryan of having sex with Mini. She confides her situation in Franky, who advises her to tell Gregory but, never one for responsibility, he leaves for Australia without her, leaving her a cheque for 500 pounds. Alo also rejects her, calling her too callous to be capable of love, but unexpected consolation comes from Eric, who reconciles her with Shelley, after which Franky takes her to an ultrasound clinic, where she weeps tears of joy on seeing her unborn baby.
