BBC One - Life, Series 1, Episode 2

The inhabitants of the house have a choice to make between old ways and the unknown.

Gail's loyalty to Henry is tested, Andy faces a decision about his new baby, David is disturbed by a hint about Kelly’s past, and Belle’s seductive night in gets derailed.

Three weeks after the events of episode one, the neighbours try to carry on as normal, but life gets in the way. Each has a choice to make: will they stick to old ways, or will they take a step into the unknown? 

After their flirtation three weeks previously, Belle plans a seductive night in with Dominic, which is utterly derailed by Maya's continuing chaotic presence. Meanwhile, David meets up with Kelly's university friends and is disturbed by their conflicting views on her, making him question everything he believes. Gail attempts to remain a dedicated wife to Henry, but her loyalty to him is tested. And a chance encounter between Gail and Saira brings Saira crashing back into David's life. The same evening, Liam and Andy have a tense altercation, and Andy is faced with a decision: can he stand by his commitment to Hannah and the baby, or does another life beckon him?
