Changes seem unavoidable as Tom, Ben and Matthew each face their own challenge that could potentially see their lives divide in new directions.

Matthew realises that every day in the flat is the same. Each morning at 9.05am Tom returns home from work, goes to the toilet, wakes up Ben, who makes breakfast on the broken cooker.

However, everything has changed at Matthew's office, where a surprise tax inspection has sent workers into a panic and prompted Carabine to quietly dispose of a few unnecessary accounts.

Lucy plans to head to Fiji to run a cocktail bar. Matthew is stunned by her spontaneity and floored by her offer for him to join her.

After five years, the barrel of home brew in Ben's bedroom is ready to be shared with the world. Hopefully it's time to make his fortune selling delicious turnip gin.

Spurred on by his friends seizing the day, Tom wonders if now might be the time to stop going to extreme lengths to avoid the pretty girl from flat 17.
