Coupling - Season 1

Steve tries to dump Jane after meeting Jeff's ex, Susan, whose own former flame is eyeing up her best friend,

Susan offers "to cook" for Steve, but he nearly chokes on the date after rumors of Patrick's sexier attributes come up and something in her bedside drawer refuses to be kept down. Meanwhile, Sally uses Jeff to size up Patrick before she agrees to go out with him; and Jane hits on a gay guy to get a rise out of her own ex.

Jane's aunt's funeral turns into a group outing once Susan, Sally, Patrick and Jeff realize that she's asked Steve to attend as her date. But Jeff has a hard time remaining respectful after getting a highly inappropriate phrase stuck in his head.

The politics of paying for dates vexes Steve and Susan's sex life, which gets even trickier after their friends weigh in on how to settle up in the bedroom. Meanwhile, Patrick realizes that his too-cool car makes him look like a loser; and Jane takes on her stalker for not paying her enough attention.

Since he isn't Jewish, Steve is lost when Susan invites him over for Yom Kippur leftovers, and asks Patrick and Jeff whether or not you're supposed to give presents on that holiday -- which leads to a misunderstanding with Sally, who was eavesdropping. Meanwhile, Jane decides to take up charity work to prove to the others that she's a giving person.

Jeff falls for a girl who happens to not speak a word of English, and she for him, but their communication breakdown causes misunderstandings for both when she mistakenly assumes that he's interested in her interpreter, and he mistakenly confuses her name with one which means something else in her country.

Patrick wants to break up with his date, because she is too hard on his nipples. Sally seeks to uncover the mystery of why her date is insistent on her not wearing makeup. Steve and Susan decide to start things anew by hooking up as if it were for the very first time. And Jane picks a bad time to chat up her co-worker.

Jane commits a fashion faux pas while on a first date. Patrick lies to a buddy by claiming that he's married -- and then tries to get Susan to play his wife. Meanwhile, Susan and Jeff mix business and pleasure at his place.

Susan has it out with Steve for failing to pick up some of his belongings from Jane's apartment -- months after their breakup. And when a bevy of chiseled firemen invade the gang's bar, Jeff decides to prove to Patrick that women don't notice him by showing the gals drooling over the firefighters his juggling and chair-balancing talents.

For Christmas, Patrick's sympathy plea over how he's got no one to spend the holiday with makes Sally and Jane want to spend it with him. Meanwhile, Jeff thinks he's found true love in a hot bartender by the name of Molly, but little does he know what she has in store for him. And Susan wants to take the next step with Steve and meet the folks -- to his chagrin.
