Storyline

Jeremy encourages Mark to start dating again and sets him up with Heather, whom he gets on well with and decides she's "the one." Jeremy is told by an ex-girlfriend he may have chlamydia, but uses this as excuse to get close to the now single again Big Suze. Meanwhile a spate of burglaries might help Mark prove his manhood to Heather in a bid to convince her that he's "the one" for her.

Trivia

As the thieves are leaving with Mark and Jeremy's TV, one says to Mark "Fuck off, clean-shirt." He is played by the same actor who played the tormenting little hooligan kid who calls Mark "Clean Shirt" in the first ever episode. It's possible this could be the same character, grown up.

Goofs

Paula tells Jeremy that she's been diagnosed with chlamydia and that he might want to get tested. She says it's usually symptomless. However in series 3, episode 4 "Sistering", he already has symptomless chlamydia (it is revealed in a conversation with Mark's sister). Although he could have gotten rid of it with antibiotics in the time between the episodes.

Quotes

[Jeremy is having dinner at a restaurant with Big Suze]
Jeremy Usborne: So, what shall we have to drink, to celebrate?
Big Suze: Well, a Barolo is always nice.
Jeremy Usborne: [voiceover] Shit. Can't ask how much. Restaurant, you have to pretend you're infinitely wealthy for some reason.
[He starts looking through the wine list]
Jeremy Usborne: [voiceover] OK, flicking, looking. If only I knew the name of any other wine. What's a wine? Is the one Hannibal Lecter drinks real or a joke?
