Together

The first episode of Together tells the story of how Tom saw Ellen for the first time - on a wheelie bin and under her car door. After this brief encounter, he is determined to see her again.

Fleeing his warring parents, Tom takes Ellen to the cinema but lies about having his own place, a car and a job in publishing - being exposed by Ellen's flatmate Hermione. To make amends, he invites her to Welsh-Thai fusion restaurant Fershangwenthl but, having been arrested for accidentally ramming a charity van, she arrives late, to find he has fallen victim to a food allergy.

Tom is hoping to give Ellen a birthday surprise but when his credit card is rejected at the perfume counter, he decides to cook her a lasagne at his parents' house. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect evening as Ellen, subject to a curfew after being found guilty of road rage, leaves early, having a devastating encounter with Ashley's pet snails on the way out.

Aware that Ellen loves costume drama 'Sharpe', Tom invites her to a country house but unfortunately, his parents and sister Maeve come too whilst Ellen brings Hermione and Luke. When Ellen's car breaks down, Tom vies with Luke to mend it - and loses out. However, after he has imagined himself as Sharpe taking on the enemy, he is still able to win Ellen over by taking her to a romantic place.

On the hottest day of the year, Ellen and Tom are keen to have sex and, having seen Ellen's police form from her court case, he assumes that she is turned on by uniforms and borrows his father's when he visits her. However, she still has an electronic tag on her ankle and sends him away. By the time it is removed, Tom has accidentally taken his sister's sleeping draught and is out for the count.

Before Ellen can tell Tom that she has a criminal record, Ashley finds out and informs his son. When Tom admits that he knows about it, Ellen is determined to leave town but first goes to say goodbye to her long-lost grandfather, Ern. Determined not to let her go, Tom uses Ern's homing pigeons to track her down.
