Series 4, Episode 2 - Nightlines

Steve's subconscious is giving him nightmares over the Susan's pregnancy. Meanwhile, Sally is horrified to learn Patrick sometimes thinks of cars during sex. A rather long phonecall ensues, and some uncomfortable truths come out for all.

Further details

Late at night and a phone call that Will Not Die. You know how sometimes you can't get someone off the phone? There are too many people in this phone call. And one of them isn't really there.

Meanwhile, Susan is worried she's turning into an emotional tent; she and Steve are now well and truly an item - so why is he dreaming about being executed by a method Never Before Seen on British Television - and chased by a foetus with an axe?
