Eight months after their livelihoods went up in smoke, the Henshalls are back in action. But with Allie and Ruby now both heavily pregnant to the same man, things are going to get complicated.

While Ruby finds motherhood a breeze, Allie is struggling with both newborn Ralfie and a tyrannical Nanny. Without her at the helm, the salon is teetering on the verge of chaos, forcing Finn to seek help from an unlikely sorce.

Darcey is freaked out by the attentions of the salon's weirdo neighbour, Smee, and is determined to see him evicted. Meanwhile Finnbecomes impatient to Gavin's continued presence at the salon

Finn decides to get Ralfie christened, and asks Gavin to be godfather - but the celebration dredges up far more for both men than expected. Meanwhile a blast from the past causes big problems for Darcey.

Last seen setting fire to both the Henshall and Ferraday hair salons, Mia returns to Manchester an apparently reformed character. But how long can this new incarnation last? especially when she learns to Finn's darkest secret ...

It's crunch time for Finn's relationship with Allie. With not being Ralfie's real father and the reality of marriage failing to match the fantasy, Finn makes a shocking decision - but what will be the repercussions?

It's one month after Allie chose Finn over Gavin, and she returns with Finn from their holiday in Naples. They pull up outside the Henshall-Ferraday salon, which is having its sign changed to ""Gavin Ferraday"". Allie obviously isn't welcome. Finn surprises Allie, taking her to a new state of the art health and beauty spa for her to run, Celestium. She's flattered and accepts Finn's offer to run it. Brawdie shows up for a cut and blow dry, to prepare herself for Tom's 60th birthday disco party, but Allie talks her into having the full Celestium treatment. Brawdie looks fantastic as a result of the pampering, and becomes the life of the party at the disco. Tom speaks to Allie, reminding her where her true talent lies, that she can make a difference to real people's lives, and that she doesn't really suit being a ""hands-off"" executive. A big argument kicks off at the party, with Ruby announcing the different partners Finn has had, information provided to her by the scheming Mia of course.

With Allie out of the picture, Darcey takes the opportunity of replacing her in Gavin's business and bed. Finn, Allie and Gavin are all nominated for ""Hey! Manchester"" awards. Mia has been working as an escort, so Gavin offers her a job.

Allie and Finn take Ruby for a day out a Blackpool. Darcey continues to plot her and Gavin's future, and there's an incident involving the Manchester Ship Canal which gets Calypso a TV spot.

Remi and Calypso enter a Poptartz competition, which in turn reveals a dark part of Sydney's past. Mia and Sydney both ""spring clean"" their lives, and Zinnia issues a warning to Finn about his future with Allie.

Two of Finn's children, Layla and Jodie, turn up on his doorstep. Finn and Allie have trouble looking after them both, so Allie calls in the rest of her family to help her out. Meanwhile, Mia is creating a plan to find out Allie's priorities. Her plan is to pull out of the seminar where she's meant to assist Boo Wibberly, the Progressive Hairdresser of the Year, and suggests Allie to replace her. Allie grasps the opportunity immediately and leaves Finn and her family with the children. Finn takes them all back to Byzantium, his bar, and they all have fun making cocktails and other drinks. Unknown to anyone, the two children put alcohol in their drinks. Mia shows up just as this is happening, and sees it happen, but keeps it to herself. The two children become sick, and Finn is worried that their mother won't let him see them again because of his bad fathering. Mia tells him that she'll take the blame for the problem, to save Finn from getting in trouble. At the seminar, Allie carries o

Najat and Zaki Amjad close their shop and relocate to Eccles, everyone believing that they are moving for a change of scene. However, when the rent on Gavin's salon is increased to a ludicrous price, Finn becomes suspicious of the local property sharks. Gavin is reluctant to take Finn's advice and decides to make an appeal to the government. The staff of Gavin's salon hold a demonstration outside, wreaking havoc, which involves Zinna in a black PVC cat suit tied to a lamp post! Gavin stops the demonstration though, not wanting to lower the chances of winning North West salon of the year. Finn decides that it's now time that he and Allie sort out their divorces, and Allie and Gavin arrange to meet to talk things through. Finn's decision backfires, because when Allie and Gavin look through old photogrpags of their wedding, they remember how good they were together. While this is happening, Mia goes to see Finn, and lies that Gavin told her that he and Allie have been sleeping together, w

An explosive end to the second season of Cutting It! Besides Allie having to choose between Gavin and Finn, both salons go up in flames!... and it's not Sunni Khadir behind it.

Allie has hopes of winning the National Hairdressing Championships, and also wants to open a second Henshall Ferraday salon, but Gavin has other ideas... he wants a baby. Allie finds the perfect place to have the second salon, a building directly across the street from their existing one. Allie talks Gavin into putting in a bid, but they're beaten by an unknown buyer paying £30,000 above the asking price. Allie and Gavin can't afford to go any higher and they let the mystery purchaser get the property. A few days later Mia Bevan visits Henshall Ferraday for a hair cut, and she reveals she's the new owner of the property across the street, and she's opening a salon! Finn Bevan, Mia's husband, shows up shortly after and lets on that he seems to know Allie from the past, but Allie says she doesn't remember him. Later on Allie is visited by Finn, and we find out that the two used to go out years ago. But not only did they go out... Allie was pregnant with his baby, and she reveals to him t

Blade Runner, Mia's salon, seems to be getting all of Henshall Ferraday's clients and Eugene discovers it's no accident. The salon's database has been accessed and that's how Blade Runner is getting their clients. Eugene tells Allie that it's an inside job, because only people who work for the salon can access it, but it could be anyone! Allie thinks it's Gavin who's given Blade Runner the info, as a way to get her to have a baby. There's also a celebrity photo shoot up for grabs and Allie and Mia are fighting each other for it. Mia tries anything she can to try and get the contract, but she can't beat Allie's ideas that she's impressing the contractors with. Finn manages to get secretly inolved with the celebrity photo shoot and secures the contract for Allie, also telling her that she just has to say and he'll divorce Mia. Allie is mad and doesn't accept his offer, storming off. Both are unaware that Mia has heard the whole conversation.

Allie agrees that she and Gavin should start trying for a baby. Mia and Allie are both hired to do hair and make up at a wedding, and Allie can no longer resist Finn's temptations.

Gavin discovers Ruby's secret. Shane's debts force him to resort to desperate measures, and the identity of the Henshall-Ferraday mole is revealed to everyone.

Gavin, Eugene and Tom attend a ""Secrets of Success"" seminar, Allie attends a hairdressing seminar which is gatecrashed by Mia, and Finn makes the decision to leave Mia.

It's the regional heat of the hairdressing competition, but Allie is missing. Finally, Allie must make a difficult decision... Finn or Gavin?
