Steve and Jeff go to a wine bar where Steve has decided to dump Jane. Susan and Sally go out to the same bar. Susan meets up with Patrick, with whom she's been having sex. They've both been unfaithful, and it looks as if the fling is over.

Steve is surprised when Susan invites him to dinner at her place. As Jeff offers advice on foreplay and his theory on celebrity marriages, he has no idea Susan can overhear everything. Patrick invites Sally on a date.

An upset Jane appears on Steve's doorstep. Her aunt has died and she wants Steve to go to the funeral with her. When Steve tells Susan that he told Jane he couldn't go, she insists he must, and Susan announces she wants to go, too. Steve just keeps digging himself in deeper and begs a strangely confident Jeff to go as Susan's partner. Before long, all six of them are heading up a suburban stree...

When Susan decides to record a TV show, Steve gets paranoid about her finding his lesbian porno video. Jane is astonished to hear that Steve told Susan he loved her, something he failed to say to her throughout the five years of their relationship. When Susan suggests they have a dinner party and invites her, Jane persuades her therapist, Jill, to go to the dinner party with her.

The boys are sitting in the bar looking at a beautiful girl. When she glances at Jeff, the others encourage him to go and talk to her. Before long he's babbling away, but she seems to understand nothing. The girl is from Israel, and she hasn't understood a word. The next day the girls watch the same beautiful girl in the bar.

Jane shows up on Patrick's doorstep. Stunned, he offers her a drink. She senses his emotional walls. Why does he never talk to her? Meanwhile the boys discuss screen nudity. Then Jane opens Patrick's cupboard to be confronted by a wall of videos—it seems Patrick has filmed all the women he's ever had sex with.
