Flustered by the events from the night before, Gemma (Sarah Alexander) is frantically baking cakes for the twins’ school function.
Surely she can convince Billy (Robert Sheehan) that there’s nothing romantic between them? That is assuming she can convince herself. Not a natural Nigella, Gemma’s efforts end in a huge mess and she is forced to strip off to her bra, only to give Billy an unintentional eyeful.
Gemma, Alfie (Jonathan Bailey) and Billy arrive at the school and totally unaware of the chemistry between his best friend and his mum, Alfie sets Billy a challenge to see who can kiss a ‘hot mum’ first.
Meanwhile, the twins are on their way to school with dad Jason (Neil Morrissey) and “soon to be step mother” Inca, (Vera Filatova) who is unsuitably dolled up for the occasion. It’s bad enough that Jason has allowed trainee beautician Inca to practice her fake tanning expertise on their young daughters, but Gemma is furious when Inca decides to take an active role in Gemma and Jason’s meeting with the twins’ teachers. Jason thinks it’s hilarious that one of the twins is playing up at school but perplexed when his wit and charm doesn’t seem to be working on their surly teacher.
Divorcee Tom (Nathaniel Parker) unwittingly shares his feelings for Gemma with Billy. He’s head over heels and later confides to Gemma: 'I definitely want a second date'.
Meanwhile, Gemma’s efforts to focus on her new romance with Tom are questioned when she overhears Billy helping daughter Jess (Sophie Alibert) out. Swept away by his kindness and maturity, Gemma and Billy get closer, with surprising consequences. Can Gemma talk her way out of this one or has she ruined her chances of a grown-up relationship with suitable Tom?
