Bill decides to move in with Richard so that he can relive his days as a carefree bachelor. However the old magic has gone, Richard's obsession with Liza makes him a less than compatible flatmate and - most of all - he is missing Faith - who is missing him as well.

Unable to stay apart for any longer Bill and faith decide that they must get back together, to the relief of Hannah and Joe. Bill wants to start exactly where they left off but Faith insists that he romances her - as if they were meeting for the first time.

Bill takes Faith up to Scotland to stay with his mother. He is anxious to show her all the old haunts that he knew before coming down to live in England but is dismayed that so many of them have either been demolished or are completely unrecognizable. Ultimately both he and Faith are relieved to return home.
