Series 1, Episode 3
Further details
Following his massive intake of cannabinoids, Martin leaves hospital and is reconciled with Jen, but he's frustrated when she won't have sex with him. Patrick, meanwhile, vows to launch a new global clothing company and starts viewing unsuitably grandiose potential offices.
When Leigh's house is repossessed, a guilty Jen asks her and her three young sons to come and stay. Martin, however, who is trying to get his marriage back on track, is not happy.
To let Jen, Leigh, Liz and Anita have a boozy girls' night in, Patrick and Martin take Dan and Leigh's troublesome eldest son to a snooker club with unfortunate consequences. Patrick offers Liz a lift home and she drunkenly sleeps with him.
At Anita and Dev's anniversary party, Dev tries to kiss Leigh. Liz warns Patrick that sleeping with him meant nothing, while Martin and Jen finally revive their sex life.
Emboldened by this change of fortune, Martin attempts a reconciliation between Patrick and Liz, but discovers that Patrick is entertaining another woman.
