GameFace - Episode Guide

A boozy night has some disastrous consequences for Marcella - including a ruined children's party, a lot of missed calls from her ex-boyfriend and an unwanted house-guest who's never seen Friends. Meanwhile her temping job takes an unexpectedly dramatic twist and, in her first life-coaching session, she admits that her dreams of becoming a full time actress aren't going to plan.

Marcella's ex-boyfriend, Simon, re-enters her life with some startling news and further surprises arrive in the shape of his new wife, Tania. In an attempt to clear her head, Marcella sets out on a gung-ho camping trip - which sees her battling unsuccessfully with the great outdoors and ends up bringing her closer to her driving instructor, Jon. In the therapy room she reflects on some of the worst decisions she's made whilst inebriated.

Marcella's wayward brother, Billy, is coming out of rehab and it isn't long before their sibling squabbles start up again. Her life-coach is on hand to help her work through their differences using some new, questionable methods. Meanwhile, Marcella finally has an audition for an acting role but there's a hitch, she needs to cry in it and no matter what she tries the tears won't come.

Marcella is thrilled to have a role in a film, but her delight is short-lived when her actions accidentally cause the lead actress to have a meltdown. With filming cancelled for the day she finds herself running into Jon and discovers that there's more to him than meets the eye. After a boozy, giddy and confusing evening they re-unite at the film screening, but as the night unfolds it becomes far from the triumphant occasion Marcella had hoped for.

Marcella needs to tell her family about Billy's drug problems - but she can't bear to dent her mother's faith in her golden boy. After contacting her hot-headed father, and finding him to be as unhinged as usual, she reluctantly turns to Simon for help. And, after some soul searching - and typically unhelpful advice from her life-coach - Marcella feels ready to admit her feelings to Jon.

A hung-over and guilt-ridden Marcella has to face a date with Jon - whilst haunted by sex-flashbacks from the night before. Jon tries hard to impress but Marcella is called away abruptly when Billy stages his own intervention. Marcella's family and friends gather together but what starts out as an attempt to reach out to Billy quickly turns in to an afternoon of explosions, revelations and a whole lot of singing.

Marcella takes her driving test and goes on a date with her driving instructor Jon, while Linda tells her neighbour she is being followed. She also continues her life-coaching sessions with her therapist and his student, visits her mum and finds her ex Simon in a compromising position

Marcella deals with the fallout of her date with Jon. She meets Simon and confronts him about his wife's behaviour. Her life coach talks to her about her lack of work so she visits her agent, Pam. Marcella and Lucy are meant to be going to an awards ceremony where Cal has won an award for her work but they are worried...and is Jon ever going to call her back?

With her friends all seemingly moving forward with their lives and relationships, Marcella begins to feel like she is being left behind, and she decides to open up to her life coach about her feelings. However, her luck is about to change when she gets news of a big audition. Meanwhile, Marcella's parents have something to tell her and Billy.

Marcella stars in a television advert. At a session with her life coach, student Frances cross-examines Marcella about what she will do with her earnings from the advert. Meanwhile, Marcella celebrates her good luck with margaritas forgetting she has signed up for a creative writing class

Marcella atones for her drunken behaviour at Billy's party by giving up drinking alcohol. She visits Jon to apologise, but he has a guest there and does not invite her in. Later, Marcella goes to stay at Simon's grandmother's country cottage, where she receives a surprise visitor.

In the final episode, Jon invites Marcella to the art exhibition he is taking part in, where she finds out something which throws all her future plans into question. Marcella spends time with her friends Caroline, Lucy, her brother Billy, and her ex Simon, and realises that if life took her elsewhere she would miss them all.

It's Marcella's birthday and this year she's determined to turn over a new leaf. But first she has to work out whose bed she's in and why she's covered in fried chicken.

Then there's the speech she's due to give about her life as a successful actress... The only problem is, she's not a successful actress.
