Series 2, Episode 6 - Second Time Around

A stranger turns up at the Person magazine office - none other than Andy Evol, now a born-again Christian preacher! Sworn off almost everything his former life represented, 'Andrew Love' is not someone Jane feels entirely comfortable with. Junior being taken ill offers the perfect opportunity. Meanwhile, Indira and Laurence, and Jane and Vincent, end up on dates at the same restaurant at the same time.
