- Fleabag has to attend an uncomfortable family dinner to celebrate the engagement of Godmother and Dad. Fleabag is intrigued by Godmother's new Priest, but the evening ends with old tensions bubbling to the surface.
- Fleabag is in a "chic" public restroom cleaning blood from her nose. She breaks the fourth wall to state, "This is a love story." There is an interstitial scene where Fleabag explains steps she has taken to get her life together in the year since the end of series one. She is then shown at a restaurant with her family, including her sister, to whom she has not spoken to for a year. Her father (Bill Paterson) and her godmother are hosting the dinner to celebrate their engagement. The priest who will officiate their wedding is also in attendance. Fleabag's sister and American brother-in-law, Martin, announce that they are trying to get pregnant, and that they are no longer drinking because Martin is a recovering alcoholic.
When Fleabag goes outside to smoke a cigarette, The Priest tries to speak to her, but she silently walks away as he is talking. He insults her as she goes, to which Fleabag responds with silent delight.
Back at dinner, Fleabag's godmother who is an artist, tells the table that her gift to Fleabag's father is a portrait of Fleabag and Claire, for which they will need to sit.
When Fleabag is outside smoking another cigarette, her father comes to speak to her. He hands her a folded piece of paper as a belated birthday gift, which she doesn't read. Upon walking into the restaurant, Fleabag catches Martin drinking alcohol away from the table.
Back at the table, Claire discusses her new position in Finland at her company, where she works in finance. Her family reacts with surprise because they all thought she was a lawyer. Her sister asks her to open the gift, and Fleabag reads aloud that it is a gift certificate for a therapy session.
Later, Fleabag goes into the bathroom to find Claire, who shares that she has just had a miscarriage. Fleabag offers to help and Claire responds angrily. Fleabag insists that they go to the hospital and Claire agrees. They make a plan to excuse themselves from dinner, but after sitting back down Claire refuses to leave. When the other dinner guests ask what's wrong, Fleabag lies and says she just had a miscarriage. Fleabag readies herself to leave after she and Claire have a veiled argument about Claire's refusal to acknowledge the miscarriage. Martin taunts Fleabag, who punches him in the nose. As she bends to punch him again, he shoves her face away. As the waitress approaches to help, Martin accidentally elbows her in the nose.
Fleabag is now in the bathroom, cleaning her bloody nose, in the same position as the opening scene. The Priest knocks on the door to ask if she needs help. She offers a clean towel to the waitress, who is sitting on the floor. As she is leaving the restaurant, the Priest tells her he is always available to talk.
As Fleabag is on the sidewalk, Claire calls to her from a nearby cab, which Fleabag gets inside. Fleabag directs the taxi to the nearest hospital. Claire and Fleabag comment on the fact that the Priest is attractive.
