Private Notes
After a potential work promotion, a family christening and a messy love triangle collide disastrously, Laura decides it’s time to take action to stop herself from completely unravelling. Alison, desperate for a baby and sick of first dates decides to get back with her ex Martin, despite not being in love with him. Single parent Katie backs out of an artificial insemination to give her daughter Ella a sibling but finds out some surprising news concerning her ex husband’s new wife Siobhan.
Laura feels elated after her first therapy session with the enigmatic Dr. Fitzgerald and feels back in control of her life however during a work assignment she gets emotionally over involved with a homeless man. Katie tries to win her daughter’s affections by getting a puppy but it doesn’t quite go as planned. Alison’s nervous about dinner with Martin’s parents and in a bid to take the heat off her, she persuades Laura and Katie to come along. Things get very messy very quickly and Alison makes a big decision about her relationship with Martin.
It’s the annual press awards, the Oscars of the newspaper industry, and both Laura and Katie are nominated. Laura is convincing nobody that she doesn’t care about winning, least of all Dr. F who makes a small breakthrough in Laura’s therapy session.
Laura bumps into her first love and thinks he might want to rekindle their relationship when he asks her out for a drink. After overhearing her colleagues discussing Kieran and Samara she decides to tell Kieran’s wife about the affair. Katie has officially started dating again and although at first it seems the charismatic Sean might be winning her over, things take a turn for the worse after a romantic gesture backfires. Alison gets dragged into Martin’s plan to ask his parents for money towards the wedding, but Alison thwarts the plan when she makes a discovery about her pregnancy.
Katie has last minute unexpected problems with the launch of her photography exhibition. It seems Sean is the only person who can save the day but he’s the last person Katie wants to see, leaving her in a difficult position. Laura responds badly to criticism at work and decides to take a sickie. While looking after and almost losing her nephew, she bumps into James, her nephew’s godfather and invites him to Katie’s exhibition. When he lets her down she turns to Kieran, which leads Laura to making a drastic decision. At a fertility MOT Alison doesn’t react well to Martin’s results and she begins to question not just their wedding but the entire relationship.
Laura’s confessional article about therapy and her affair is published in the newspaper. The response from her editor is great but Laura is nervous to find out Kieran’s reaction, and Dr F’s. To make things worse it’s her parents 40th wedding anniversary and her brother Patrick isn’t too happy about the article either.
