The Australian romantic comedy series Colin From Accounts is back with Season 2 on Paramount+. The show follows the real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, who play pet parents to a cute disabled dog named Colin.
After an exciting Season 1, the story continues with the main characters, Ashley (played by Dyer) and Gordon (played by Brammall). They face life together while learning about their feelings and perceptions.
Just like in Season 1, the ending of Season 2 leaves viewers curious about what will happen next with the lovable couple, who complement each other despite their different personalities. Thankfully, Colin’s safety is not at risk in this season.
Gordon and Ashley’s Journey in Season 2 of Colin From Accounts
Season 2 begins two weeks after Season 1 ends. Ashley and Gordon want to get Colin back from his new parents, Phoebe (Sophie Bloom) and Angus (Sam Cotton). However, Phoebe and Angus are determined to keep Colin. Ashley and Gordon even ask Colin’s original owner, Matt (Bert LaBonté), for help, but he is friends with Angus and Phoebe.
Luckily, Yvette (Annie Maynard) helps reunite Colin with Ashley and Gordon after finding him on the road. But Yvette brings shocking news for Gordon; she tells him that she is pregnant with his child.
This is a surprise for Gordon since his doctor told him that his sperm count was low. It is also shocking for Ashley because she realizes she might never have children with Gordon unless it’s a “miracle baby” like Yvette’s.
Gordon soon learns that Yvette might be trying to revive their relationship through the baby, which seems to have been conceived with her new partner, Micah (Benedict Hardie). However, meeting Yvette gives Ashley a new perspective on her relationship with Gordon.
As the season progresses, Ashley discovers many differences between her and Gordon. For example, when Ashley talks to Gordon’s flirty brother Alistair (Justin Rosniak), she finds out about Gordon’s adventurous past with dating.
The fact that Gordon keeps cans of beer named after his old partners does not help either. Despite these issues, Ashley and Gordon continue to move forward in their relationship, trying to embrace their differences while nurturing their feelings for each other. In Episode 5, Ashley accidentally falls asleep on her way home and struggles to get back to their apartment.
Ashley Meets Gordon’s Family in the Most Memorable Episode of Season 2
Episode 6 is very important. In this episode, Gordon and Ashley visit Gordon’s family for the first time. Gordon wants to ask his father for money to help his struggling brewery. Unfortunately, Ashley feels unprepared for the quirky family members.
Gordon’s father, Brian Crapp (John Howard), does not like Ashley much after she tries to help him organize his pillbox. The family gathering quickly turns into chaos.
The episode takes a dark turn when Brian suffers a heart attack, and Ashley and Gordon argue about his dysfunctional family. At the end of Episode 6, Brian dies in the hospital, just moments after Ashley calls him a “f*ckwit.”
In the next episode, Ashley tries to reconcile with Gordon and help him deal with his father’s death. Gordon struggles to express his feelings due to a difficult relationship with his father. Instead, he focuses on making Colin a star. Unfortunately, his plans to get Colin into show business do not work out.
While everything unfolds, Gordon decides to sell his brewery because of his growing debt and failed plans. Throughout Episode 7, Ashley’s efforts to help Gordon grieve hit a sore spot. Gordon accuses Ashley of trying to make up for calling his father a “f*ckwit.”
Ashley meets with Gordon’s mother Dawn (Lynne Porteous) and sister-in-law Katie (Celeste Barber) to discuss Gordon’s trouble with processing his father’s death. When Gordon discovers a letter from Dawn and a check from his father’s shares, he realizes that Brian is proud of him, leading him to finally grieve and make peace with his emotions.
Gordon Makes a Big Decision in the Colin From Accounts Season 2 Finale
The finale of Season 2 begins humorously with Ashley recovering from a wisdom tooth removal, leaving her face swollen. To make matters worse, she learns that her best friend Megan (Emma Harvie) is having a quick wedding to her new girlfriend, Rumi (Virginia Gay), and Ashley is the maid of honor.
Earlier, Ashley and Gordon’s first meeting with Rumi did not go well, as Gordon criticized Rumi’s self-centered attitude. Despite their rocky past, Ashley and Gordon try to put their best foot forward for Megan’s wedding. On the wedding day, Ashley talks with Megan about marrying Rumi so quickly. Megan is very sure about her feelings, but Ashley is unsure about her future with Gordon.
By the end of Season 2, Gordon realizes he needs to make a change in his life and settle down. His father’s death has made him more aware of how fragile life can be. When Gordon speaks to Ashley’s ex, James (Tai Hara), who still loves Ashley, Gordon decides to propose to Ashley.
He pops the question in front of everyone. Unsurprisingly, Ashley does not give an answer, which leaves Gordon feeling embarrassed. He has been unaware of Ashley’s feelings, as he has focused on his own emotions.
Season 2 ends with uncertainty about the future of Ashley and Gordon’s relationship. Since Gordon is considering settling down for the first time, Ashley’s indirect rejection might hurt their relationship more than it seems.
All episodes of Season 2 of Colin From Accounts are available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
