Arnold meets Josh at a party, introduced as Steve's brother. Arnold stays inside and sits under the table with John, when he and Josh chat about Arnold being adopted and anxious. They meet again at the psychiatric hospital where Josh's mum Rose also lives and go on two dates, although both end in disaster.

Series 3
Following multiple dates, Arnold and Josh have sex. Afterwards, however, Arnold doesn't contact Josh for a while. One night, he arrives at Josh's house drunk and tells Josh he loves him.
