Season 2 starts three months later and Richard is in France painting pictures besides the Seine. However, he hasn't been successful and has to return home. He needs work and ends up in an ice-cream parlour. With Richard's people skills it isn't a great success. Salty is injured and Caroline ends up on a date with the vet, Joe, who is 7 years younger. Unfortunately, Joe is an animal liberationist and is busy releasing captive animals, which results in Caroline being arrested. She ends up in bed with him. The next morning there is serendipitous meeting with Richard.
