At the end of season two, team Sex On A Stick triumphed over Nige the interloper and won back their all-important name, and pub. But at the same time, Emma, now pregnant, has seen the evidence of Brian's hen party indiscretion. Catherine and Mac have begun a relationship, which has just been made public. Michelle has finally accepted that she is bi-polar and needs help, though she's lost Richard.
