Episodes
Tim, a camp young man, becomes the new manager at the Archer and has a theme night dedicated to John Barrowman with Donna working alongside him. Jonny has won an adventure holiday in Hawaii jumping over sharks, and an envious Gaz tries to emulate him to bring some excitement into his own life via stunt-riding, fire-eating, and the nude balloon dance. But Janet takes a phone call that brings horrible news about Jonny.
Janet is going through the five stages of bereavement: DABDA, or Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally Acceptance. Gaz is helping her, and frankly, Donna is rather suspicious of his motives. On the positive side--sort of--Louise announces that she is pregnant.
Having found God, Munch returns, while Louise organizes a fake seance to persuade Janet, who is heavily strapped for cash, that she should move in with her. Janet herself comes up with a theme for Donna and Gaz's wedding: Dead Jonny. Meanwhile, Donna tries to get Tim to come out, as he is obviously gay; however, he reveals that he is married to Helena, a female rugby player who is away on tour, and the resulting fallout leaves Donna running the pub with depressed Janet and crazy Munch.
While Janet finds herself unable to look at Jonny's newly-arrived headstone, Donna is running the pub with her wedding only a week away, so she's too busy to prepare for it, and Munch loses God. Louise is annoyed when she learns that her baby is a girl because she thinks the baby will be prettier than she is, but after a scary moment of thinking the baby died, she accepts that she will love her anyway.
Donna and Gaz have their wedding, with Munch as best man, but since Janet organized it, the theme is decidedly Jonny-oriented. After the wedding, Louise tells Janet that she should get rid of some of Jonny's things to try to get over him so Janet gives Louise a box of items to take to the charity shop. These include a letter from the hospital stating that Jonny was not Corinthian's father, which Louise opens and reads. Meanwhile, Janet feels attracted to Munch.
The lives and loves of five friends in the Northern town of Runcorn.
