Sally's been living a comfortable but crushingly dull life with her partner of 10 years, David. When David makes a poorly timed and feebly executed attempt at a proposal, it sparks in her a personal crisis...
Emma and Sally are officially an item. Sort of. It's Sally's birthday and her parents are due to come for dinner, but Sally is unsure of how to broach the subject of Emma to her very straightlaced, church-going mum and dad. Emma... much less so.
It's a question that has been asked through the ages: can eggs be sexy? It's one Sally must answer as her company launches a campaign to make the humble egg seductive. However, as her new beau Emma becomes increasingly needy and demanding, Sally's performance at work begins to suffer, and her chances of promotion start to look bleak.
Emma has landed a small part in Dan's film, which stars Lena Headey as an autistic 19th-century baker. Meanwhile, Sally takes time off work to attend David's father's funeral.
Sally is in trouble with her boss Deborah, who thinks that her relationship with Emma is having a detrimental effect on her work.
It's the annual work away day (plus night in a hotel) for Sally's marketing department. Emma doesn't want Sally to go, but Sally puts her foot down and joins her team at the hotel, where Deborah explains that there is a shortage of rooms and that she and Sally will have to share.
It's a some weeks later and Sally and Emma arrive at a plush Scottish hotel.
