Martin treats two brothers for salmonella poisoning, likely caused by the putrid contents of their fridge. But there's something else amiss about this family, which has a bizarre passion for taxidermy-and a mother who hasn't been seen in years.

Belle's sister Jackie comes to stay, having left her husband, and Belle feels unable to tell her her line of work. However, whilst Belle is out, Jackie is turned on by reading her book and gets very drunk, having sex with Ben who has come to call. Belle is not amused, though nor is Stephanie, who has now worked out that Belle is the author. Nor is Bambi, because black girls get paid less than white. However Bambi does hit it off with new client Byron, a mystery man whom she first encounters being chased down the street.

Belle entertains Des, a young man who loves to be covered in messy foodstuffs,not the most erotic subject for her next chapter so she turns to Duncan for the real thing. Bambi tries in vain to reject an ardent Byron, who buys her a bicycle and proposes to her whilst Ben breaks things off with Jackie.

Belle and Duncan attend Bambi's wedding to Byron where Belle is hesitant about accepting Stephanie's offer of work in the Maldives because of her commitment to Duncan. However her attitude changes when Bambi tells her Duncan is one of her regular punters and she is unconvinced when he explains that, though he loves her, he sees theirs as an open relationship. She turns to Ben for consolation and they send an email to Duncan's firm exposing him as a prostitute's client. She then flies off to the Maldives, with a note from Ben which says that he loves her.

Belle takes on the role of Russian spy, ‘Olga’, when she agrees to do a James Bond role play experience for her client, Stewart. The appointment will make a great chapter, and Duncan can't wait to hear about it. Finally able to balance her working life with a relationship, Belle decides its time to introduce Duncan to Ben. Unfortunately, Ben feels patronised by Duncan and doesn’t warm to him. Byron, having shown up the bar whilst Bambi is at a booking, takes Ben’s side. Belle thanks Ben for his support and leaves with Duncan. That night in Duncan’s club, they bump into Stewart with his wife. Stewart discreetly approaches Belle at the bar to try and deal with the awkwardness. Duncan misinterprets the situation, and tells Stewart to back off. Belle can’t believe that Duncan has potentially lost her a client. Things get worse when Ben and Byron turn up, steaming drunk, to tell Duncan just what they think of him. It’s becoming clear to Belle that she can’t have both Duncan and Ben in her life, but which man will she choose?
