So it's another January, but one year on — and this is where we find the Go Girls: Britta has been through a very big change. In fine McMann tradition, she is the solo mum of a little girl, now four months old. Cody is running the garage and living with Possum. But on the romance front things have changed a lot. Amy is back on the Shore — and she's a woman with ambitions. Brad returns, but a broken heart and overseas travel mean he's a changed man. Olivia and Joel are doing well with their music and had a minor breakout hit that's been sold for an ad. Kevin has been married to Amanda for more than a year, but he's hardly seeing his friends these days... Kevin is back in town with bombshell news, as Britta has big news for Kevin. But when bombs go off, someone is bound to get hurt...

Amy's quest is to be the best lawyer, but she's being bullied at work by a nemesis from her past, Rupert the Perve. Kevin, trapped in hospital, is frustrated he can't defend her. Cody has battles of her own, with NSB's evil ex, Bex, as Olivia discovers that Joel has moved in.

Olivia finds she's been left a million dollars in her father's will. But as she clears out her father's things, she finds he kept a report card on all his daughters and is rocked that he thought her a disappointment. Kevin is convalescing as Amy goes to Timaru leaving the Go Girls in charge of his care. Britta is flustered to find Brad is back in town but he is not the same man he used to be. Britta is so upset she forgets to feed Kevin, so Fran takes round Jan's enhanced home baking...

Britta fears Leo's bad habits are putting Hero at risk and bans him from seeing her. Leo resolves to turn over a new leaf and Britta is impressed but she admits that she's not in love with Leo, and never will be. Leo nearly falls off the wagon, then realises that it's Hero he wants as much as Britta. Kevin confesses all to Amy, and feels his life is over — especially when he discovers that Cody has financial woes and can't give him his old job back. With the help of Brad, Kevin confronts Dave about getting his money back. This goes badly, but Kevin meets a motorist in distress. Ron Cape runs a rally team and is so impressed with Kevin that he offers him a job. Kevin decides to take it and make a fresh start. But Amy returns and forgives him. Kevin has his dream girl at last.

Kevin is trying to ignore everything except sex with the girl of his dreams — Amy. But this proves hard when Cody has fresh financial woes — NSB has sold the rental fleet. He insists it's not personal — business is business, but Cody feels betrayed and desperate and pressures Kevin about getting the money Dave owes him.

Kevin leaves, but has a job for Brad — to look after the Go Girls. Brad is not keen on this assignment, but Britta is upset. Her bad mother, Fran, lied about Britta's age — and she is six months older than she thought. On top of this, Nan bites a child, and Jan gets arrested for dope possession.

Life can go in very different directions as Cody and Amy both discover when visitors rock their world. But can a frock sale really make that much difference? In one version of our sliding doors, they do. Cody's new frock causes a fight with NSB and a rematch with Eli, who ho has come to ask for a divorce, but is torn... In the version where the gals don't go shopping, Amy goes home to find her mother in bed with her boss Brendan...

Leo has been picked up by a morning magazine show, Morena! But the producer turns out to be his scary ex Ellie, who seems to hate Leo. Britta fears for his job and goes into bat for him. Leo gets a contract, but as he obsesses about how much he hates Ellie, Britta starts to realise that maybe he's still in love with her. Olivia is having a secret affair with Will, but now gets a call from Joel. He's back in the country and Dipak has had a relapse and is in hospital. Olivia agrees to visit with Joel, only to find Dipak has already passed away. Olivia and Joel bond over their grief, and end up in bed.

As Amy goes to visit Kevin in Bangkok, Britta, Olivia and Cody are single gals looking for action. But when Britta gets stood up, Brad despite his better judgment asks her to stay over. Britta and Brad are both determined that they can't go back, but as they spend time together, they start to think they could move forward. Olivia and Cody score with a couple of randoms, as she spies NSB with a date. But in the morning Cody is appalled to find her parents at her door. Olivia covers for Cody — but the big news is Gwen and Wiri have moved back but Cody is worried when they want to buy a large house.

Olivia wants to do good, but is a bad boy about to take advantage? Meanwhile, a childcare crisis leads Britta to an unlikely guru.

Amy faces the ultimate showdown with Rupert the Perve. But will she have to sacrifice her career? The Go Girls are incensed on her behalf — and deploy their combined resources to get at Rupert. Meanwhile, Robyn is worried about her sons and drugs. Olivia reassures but then finds Will using speed.

When Gwen goes missing, everyone is called out on the search, including NSB. Cody is disturbed to realise her parents aren't coping, and it isn't the first time Gwen has gone wandering. Brad is shocked that Britta has moved out of home and is flatting with Ross. Britta loves this new arrangement, but is put out when Ross has a date with an ex-colleague, Geraldine. Britta is disturbed to find she's jealous, and hooks up with Brad.

Brad has to stop a wedding, but it's going to take way more than a bouncy castle. Brad has decided Britta is seeking security because she never had a father. So he and Leo set out to find him. Britta is upset to hear of their interference, but overjoyed to meet her father — someone she never expected. Brad finds drugs at Hermanos and is furious — how can he be in business with Will if he can't be trusted? Will takes this on the chin, and the next thing he breaks up with Olivia, who is heartbroken.

Our heroes are facing the end of their 20s — the downhill run which can only end in (oh god!) 30... For some it will mean one last stab at freedom; for others, time to try and settle down. But even best laid plans lead where you least expect them. This year, the quests are sorted. But has Kevin really found the perfect woman? And can Cody defend Gwen against a witch?

Britta fears the end of true love when she finds that Brad hasn't told his mother about her and thinks Brad is embarrassed because she's not successful and smart like Amy and Angelina. Kevin's fears about Olivia turn out to be far worse than he suspected.

Cody deals with sex and sex bombs when she discovers that the nice young women she let Eli's house to, are in fact, the Laddettes from hell who have turned the place into a rat infested pigsty. Olivia finds her own life is a battleground as Jeffery and Carol clash over their very different approaches to Olivia's illness, and Olivia seeks refuge with her friends.

When Brad gets surprising news, Britta confronts the green-eyed monster. Kevin gets an offer that could ace his quest.

Kevin has family! But this particular cat causes havoc among the pigeons, and Cody needs cash for a good cause.

Kevin is facing the big 3-0, but Olivia raises bigger problems, and will Britta and Cody ever get rid of the cuckoo in the nest?

Brad is about to be a dad; Britta's new object of desire leads to desperate measures and Leo; Cody receives some upsetting news from Eli; Kevin scores a date with someone he knew from school.

Cody is concerned for her mother who is having episodes where she worries about a troubled boy they used to foster. While Brad is off helping out Mia with the baby, Delilah, Britta gets some unsettling advice from the McMann women. She needs to keep an eye on her man.

When it comes to love, a lot can change in a month — as Kevin, Cody, Olivia, Brad and Britta all discover.

Kevin has Amy staying and feels torn between the demands of his fiancé and his friend. Britta is upset to receive notice from a rival fairy company claiming copyright of her company name.

Does Kevin have a rival, or just a case of cold feet? And Cody's quest hits a very big hitch.

Kevin is having a stag party. Cody is upset to realise it's blokes only but Olivia points out that, as Kevin is getting married; everything is going to change. When Amy and Cody find Amanda measuring up Kev's kitchen for remodelling, it really hits home; its the end of an era. Britta is getting on with her fairy empire and hires an extra-young fairy, to Nan's chagrin. Britta admits to Leo that she's lonely and he takes heart from this to make a serious move on her. Cody is avoiding NSB because she worries it's all too complicated. He comes to see her and suggests a date. Although still uncertain, she agrees. But then she has to cancel for Kevin's pre-wedding piss-up. Events take over with Olivia's sudden illness and Cody finds herself turning to NSB for comfort.

Kevin's wedding approaches, but his big admission has far-reaching consequences. Cody is blindsided when her parents announce they are moving to Perth and want Possum to come with them.

A new year, new resolutions; the Go Girls embark on another epic quest. And this time, they decide on new and bigger objectives… Heartbroken and in debt, Amy is taking her mind off her problems with meaningless sex. Britta's intervention with Amy gives her a realisation, having slept with half of the North Shore, she now wants something better. Cody returns from honeymoon, but the gay rumours surrounding Eli haven't gone away. Cody realises now that getting married was the easy bit, and staying married is a lot harder. Kevin decides this year he is aiming higher in all respects.

Kevin thinks that the truth is sometimes better not being told — as Amy reels from the news that her mum has kicked her Dad out because he once slept with one of her friends. Surely not Cody? This tests Amy's resolve to help others, but she can't let it go, especially when she works out the real secret — the truth about Possum's paternity. Cody tries to damp the flames of the terrible rumour. She's relieved when Eli supports her in wanting to shut this down and say nothing. But when Eli learns the truth, Cody finally realises she'll have to man up and tell all, painful as it might be.

Loyalties are tested, and who comes first — friends or family? The return of Amy's old school friend stirs up a catfight; while Britta finds a love guru.

Anyone can do anything — unless they're two of life's great under-achievers; Kevin takes the plunge and Britta surprises everyone.

The ten-year school reunion gives the Go Girls a chance to face their demons and close old wounds — as well as open a few new ones.

Kevin gets a nightmare flatmate and a dangerous love interest, as Britta finds herself in the middle of a tug of love.

Cody claims she's over Ben Maddox, but after seeing him again, her mind keeps going to the strangest places. And with Eli away on tour for a month or two, Cody is lonely. Surely just a platonic coffee with her old flame is okay? Isn't it? Olivia runs into Leo, an old mate from university, who now loathes her with every cell of his being, but he won't tell her why. Olivia's first urge is to run away and forget all about nasty Leo, but that would be the opposite of what she's vowed to do. Britta's new guy Chad seems like the perfect man. She could be finally making progress — but that would be way too easy.

Kevin has fallen in love with Kirby, which makes sharing her with her rugby star husband Zave even harder. With Kevin's vow to aim higher, will he settle for being the other guy, or will he step up and really go for what he wants? And if he does, will Zave smack his head in? With Olivia's help, Britta makes a list of attributes she would like in her ideal man. Meanwhile, it appears that Brad is finally over Amy, and maybe has his sights set on someone else. Now that Olivia and Brad are part of the gang, Cody feels on the outer and she can't even tell her jet-setting husband about it. Fortunately there is someone else she can talk to, but she could be playing with fire.

Bad-ass boys are out on the prowl — Kevin and um, Brad. But the quest to score meets serious opposition and big competition. Lock up your daughters! Kevin and Brad have finally realised that they're young, they're single, they're up for it. But of course picking up women in bars is never going to be without drama. Britta knows that Kevin is behaving this way because he's been hurt by Kirby, but she can't figure out Brad's excuse. With Eli returning from tour, Cody has to face a tough choice. Just what is she doing with Ben, and who should she really be with?

Britta thinks she's met Mr Right, but Brad is sure he's Mr Wrong. Olivia's job is on the line, as is Kevin's favourite takeaway joint. Olivia's boss Leo just loves to call a spade a spade, but his scathing tirade on a local businessman threatens to put the North Shore Chronicle out of business. Luckily, Olivia is thrown a lifeline — by her former fiancé, poor blind jilted Nathan. Brad is certain that Britta's new man Joseph is a cheater and a liar, and he's determined to prove it. Kevin doesn't think that this is a good idea as in his experience, girls always shoot the messenger. But that doesn't stop him from being reluctantly dragged into Brad's mission.

Cody is in turmoil when a Bad Fairy is back in town — but Eli's ex Phillipe claims he just wants to be friends. Meanwhile, Kevin realises what aiming higher really means when Kirby walks back into his life. Struggling with her own guilty conscience, Cody takes her paranoia regarding Philippe's intentions out on Eli. Eli's commitment to Cody is not something he takes lightly but Philippe's return is bound to shake things up for the couple. As Cody strives to fulfil her quest to stay married, a shocking confession could potentially change everything.

Kevin can't look at Olivia in the same way anymore, but as he is in denial he finds a distraction with someone else who is as indifferent to the silly season as he is — Angelina. He's also distracted by the fact that Cody's marriage break-up has been announced by Eli via a weekly magazine. For Cody, this means war but when she takes on Eli and Flinty the consequences are also felt by Kev. Britta's new romance hits its first speed bump when she realises that she is spending more time babysitting Josephs kids than she is spending with Joseph. Brad is resigned to the fact that Britta is in love with someone else, but Nan is firmly on Team Brad — if only he'd make his move!

Britta is horrified to discover that Kevin has invited a witch into the house, for this can only mean bad things like curses and evil spells. Not exactly what a girl needs in her life as she's preparing for her wedding day. As Britta prepares to take the plunge with Joseph, Brad decides it's time to win her from her fiancé's clutches. Meanwhile, Cody regains hope for her marriage and Olivia realises there's nothing stopping her going back to New York — or is there?

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 is working hard for Antonia and manages to pitch some new ideas. When she realises that Antonia has renamed one of her ideas and claimed it as her own, Amy takes this in as a valuable lesson, but Larry is less sanguine. Kevin ponders the nature of luck vs circumstance but when he finds himself at the bar with a very drunk Amy he decides to seize the day and declare his love. Unfortunately, all Amy hears is a declaration of undying friendship.

Britta gets to know a long-lost relative, but is Don really her father? Meanwhile, Cody's relationship with rugby star Eli takes a giant step forward, and Amy struggles with Cody's new life.

The incredible has happened; Kevin has slept with Amy. The next morning, Kevin is in seventh heaven but lost in the hangover from hell, Amy doesn't remember that they even did it. Cody and Eli are steaming ahead with engagement plans and parties, photo shoots and happy families. Everything on the surface looks perfect but there's something amiss in this fairy tale… how long will Cody be able to ignore the truth? Amy's world starts to unravel when she discovers her Dad's not as perfect as he makes out. In a drunken stupor he writes off a car, and even manages to give Jan a blow to the face. Will Amy keep standing by her father after all this?

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. Britta's mum and her new-old flame, the one legged Ron, throw a surprise wedding before sailing off into the sunset. But then terrible news; there has been a storm and Fran and Don are missing.

Cody makes a big decision, Amy gets a new partner, and Britta considers a different kind of fame.

Britta digs for dirt on Eli, Amy and Brad exchange mixed messages, and Cody makes an alarming discovery.

One year on, Amy, Britta, Cody and Kevin return to the beach where they first made their pact, Cody's big day brings heartbreak and surprise. It seems everyone believes in fairies.
