Amy, Britta and Cody are three young women suffering their quarter century crisis: 25 and what have they achieved? They make a vow that in one year they'll each fulfil their ambition. Their mate-since-childhood Kevin, admires their pluck but, to be honest, since Amy, Britta and Cody are currently Tragically Poor; Tragically Unknown; and Tragically Single, he reckons it's going to be a bit of an ask.

Amy gets a foot in the business door but Kevin smells a rat. Sparks fly when Britta meets up with a former flame.

Everyone pitches in to solve Cody's man problems. Britta gets a lucky break.

Britta's quest to be famous at all costs sees her applying for a new reality TV show called "Mother v Daughter". After being called down to the studio, her hopes are high, but she quickly discovers she's actually been enlisted as a party fairy for the executive producer's young boy.

Amy's quest to become rich involves the same executive producer — she becomes her personal assistant, hoping to discover the ways to fame and fortune behind the camera.

A new man enters Cody's life — just as she hoped. Problem is — he's Possum's teacher and he's married.

When Amy's ex Brad loses his high flying finance job, he turns to her for comfort. But green-eyed Kevin's not having any of it; he tips off Brad's wife, and resident superbitch, Angelina about Amy and Brad's secret meetings. Then, Gwen drops a bomb when she reveals to her family that she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Britta is struck by tragedy, Amy gets the wrong idea, and there's a new McMann in town.

After a string of hideous experiences, Cody puts on a brave face and shows up to yet another blind date only to be stood up. As luck would have it Ben is there and the pair end up having a date, sort of.

Amy still doesn't seem to remember the best night of Kevin's life, but Kevin insists he's glad; this way nothing changes. Besides he's got a hot new lady in Wanda who seems on his wavelength about keeping it casual.

Business at Finders Seekers is good, but Larry is in rehab and Amy is still a long way from achieving her goal. When Brad drops by with news that her old house is soon going back on the market, Amy wonders how she can get the money together she needs to buy it.
