Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps - 5 ª Season

Flo is killed in a road accident, but at the funeral, Janet is feeling randy and Gaz is unable to satisfy her, so until he recovers she takes comfort with a cut-out of the Chuckle Brothers. Jonny becomes a local celebrity after surviving his shoot-out with the police, though he and Janet miss the planned television interview with him outside the Archer for "North West Today." When Louise is arrested for causing the situation, Janet changes her mind about bailing her out, leaving her in police custody.

As Munch gets jiggy with the Archer's new barmaid Kelly, Donna and Gaz move into Flo's old house, which Donna has inherited on the proviso that Donna does not look into the cupboard under the stairs. Hearing noises, Gaz is convinced that the house is haunted by Flo's ghost, but the stairs collapse when he opens the door, so he and Donna must move back to their flat. Louise sees a psychiatrist called Dr. Yark and tells him that her actions were probably caused by a sub-conscious effort to protect him from learning about Janet and Gaz. She is released and goes round to tell Jonny what she saw just as he is about to propose to Janet after suffering a bout of agoraphobia.

Janet discovers that she's pregnant, and she and Jonny decide to get married and start planning. Gaz kisses Louise as a means of blackmailing her into not divulging that he slept with Janet. After Louise counsels Donna about her relationship with her mother, Donna decides to sell Flo's house and use the proceeds to go on a hiking tour of Ecuador with Gaz.

Jonny buys a car which he calls Herbie and gets Gaz to give him driving lessons. Louise asks Jonny to publicly forgive her for causing the shoot-out so that it will improve her chances in court, but when he refuses and gives her new dress to a charity shop, she has the car crushed. Gaz is not keen to go to Ecuador and does not want Donna to leave him, so he hides her passport. When Janet gives the passport back to her, Donna suspects that she has an ulterior motive for her wanting to go, so she decides to stay instead.

After Gaz confesses about himself and Janet, Donna leaves him and resists Janet's attempts to make up with her. After a disastrous date with Munch, Kelly decides to set her sights on the newly-single Gaz and dresses and acts like Donna to impress him. Jonny is barred from the local off-licence for selling alcohol to underage kids, so he gets Louise to buy the drinks in his stead. However, she is refused service as the shop-keeper thinks that she too is underage, and Jonny's customers are not happy.
