The Other One season 2 plot

Season 2 picks up where we left off, with Cat breaking the news to Cathy that she necked on with her brother on their Girls' Night Out. The former, as you'd expect, is ecstatic that she has another sibling. The latter, as you'd expect, is mortified that she kissed her own flesh and blood.

Cathy and Cat's mums Marilyn and Tess are also shocked, with Marilyn, in particular, struggling to come to terms with the news, as does Callum, who is floored when he learns the truth.
