Motherland

A new mum at the school gates attracts the attention of Julia, Liz and Kevin. Does high-flyer Meg really have it all? Meanwhile, Julia agonises over a promotion and the gang have a night out.

Julia reluctantly agrees to help Amanda launch her new shop. But a careless online post threatens to destroy her good work.

Julia finds that working from home is impossible due to all the other tasks loaded upon her. Liz finds herself at a loose end when her youngest starts nursery.

Kevin reluctantly hosts a last minute Halloween party. Julia takes the kids trick or treating in an attempt to meet a celebrity who has just moved into the neighbourhood.

The gang are delighted when Kevin books a cottage for them to spend half term in the countryside with all their kids.

Julia struggles to abide by the rules at sports day. Kevin is devastated that a work presentation means he will miss the dads' race.
