Further details
Donna thinks she's pregnant and Gaz, scared out his wits at the prospect of becoming a father, runs through the streets of Runcorn in his pants. Janet advises Donna to talk to Gaz but according to Donna there's no talking to him, 'just a series of grunts and farts before he falls asleep'.
Following some for-once useful advice from her mum, Donna realises she is not up the duff. But Gaz has adjusted to the idea of being a father, even looking favourably on the chance to be as stable and responsible as Patrick Duffy. Janet tells him that even though he won't be a father, he can still be a 'responsible adult manly man' by having a 'loving adult relationship' with Donna. Inspiration strikes and Gaz invites Donna out on a proper date. Donna is thrilled until she finds herself drinking a can of brew in the promised fine drinking establishment - Gaz's garage.
Meanwhile, Louise exercises her psychic powers and, following the spirits' career advice, Jonny undertakes a new career involving a black leotard...
