Coupling S1:E2

The Right One (a.k.a. Flushed)

It's lust at first sight for Steve when he is reintroduced to his best friend, Jeff's, co-worker, Susan, smack dab in the midst of trying to tear one off with his bisexual, threesome-loving girlfriend, Jane -- whom he intended to dump before she played those two cards. They all have a lot of baggage, what, with Susan's best friend, Sally, now coupled with Susan's former fling, Patrick.

Sex, Death & Nudity

When Jane's aunt dies, she expects Steve to go to the funeral. As her boyfriend. But if he's going, then Susan is going. And if Susan is going, then Patrick is going. And if Patrick is going, then Sally is going. And if they're all going, then Jeff might as well be going, too, since he was the only one besides Jane who actually knew her. Meanwhile, Jeff fears he'll blurt out something he shouldn't during a forthcoming interview for a promotion.

Check/Mate

Steve and Susan worry about the future of their relationship when they lie to each other, and he lets her pick up a check. Meanwhile, Patrick attempts to find a car that he looks cool in. And Jane feels her new stalker isn't putting in enough effort.

Present Tense

Since he isn't Jewish, Steve is lost when Susan invites him over for Yom Kippur leftovers, and asks Patrick and Jeff whether or not you're supposed to give presents on that holiday -- which leads to a misunderstanding with Sally, who was eavesdropping. Meanwhile, Jane decides to take up charity work to prove to the others that she's a giving person.

A Foreign Affair (a.k.a. The Girl with Two Breasts)

Jeff falls for a girl who happens to not speak a word of English, and she for him, but their communication breakdown causes misunderstandings for both when she mistakenly assumes that he's interested in her interpreter, and he mistakenly confuses her name with one which means something else in her country.

Nipple Effect

Patrick wants to break up with his date, because she is too hard on his nipples. Sally seeks to uncover the mystery of why her date is insistent on her not wearing makeup. Steve and Susan decide to start things anew by hooking up as if it were for the very first time. And Jane picks a bad time to chat up her co-worker.

Dressed

Jane commits a fashion faux pas while on a first date. Patrick lies to a buddy by claiming that he's married -- and then tries to get Susan to play his wife. Meanwhile, Susan and Jeff mix business and pleasure at his place.

Object Lessons

Susan has it out with Steve for failing to pick up some of his belongings from Jane's apartment -- months after their breakup. And when a bevy of chiseled firemen invade the gang's bar, Jeff decides to prove to Patrick that women don't notice him by showing the gals drooling over the firefighters his juggling and chair-balancing talents.

Holiday (a.k.a. Thanksgiving)

For Christmas, Patrick's sympathy plea over how he's got no one to spend the holiday with makes Sally and Jane want to spend it with him. Meanwhile, Jeff thinks he's found true love in a hot bartender by the name of Molly, but little does he know what she has in store for him. And Susan wants to take the next step with Steve and meet the folks -- to his chagrin.
