Alice finds herself literally swept off her feet by the suave and successful Matthew Chater, into a dizzying world of smart cars, up-market restaurants and swish parties. Meanwhile, Cleo and Milly go to war over a boy friend, a tee-shirt and a funeral service.

Ever determined to assist Alice in her quest for true love, Cleo and Milly have decided to health-screen every available man in the store by checking through their confidential prescription records at the store's pharmacy. Meanwhile, Alice's hands are full with a new addition to the sales team, the likeable but wayward Antonia.

It is crunch time for Alice as she is forced to take stock of her finances and realises that the only route to survival is to rent out her Brighton flat and find cheaper accommodation in London. And accommodation does not come much cheaper than Milly's sofa.
