Maddie, Alex, and Rich agree to give themselves six months to try to get pregnant. As the deadline approaches, Maddie feels low, and the trio begin to have doubts about their future together as a surrogacy team. Will Maddie ever get pregnant and realise her dream of being that special person who helps her new friends start a family? Meanwhile, single man David has his embryo transferred into his new surrogate, Faye. We watch as they both navigate the emotional complexities within their relationship, whereby the intended parent has to completely trust the surrogate to safely carry their child and then hand the baby over at the end.
