Episode Guide

Series three

Episode 1/10 Everyone

It's the first day of term and a new group of students are on their way into Roundview College. The beautiful and aloof Effy soon makes an impact on best friends Cook, JJ and Freddie, although identical twins Katie and Emily reckon they're definitely the most desirable girls in the college. Meanwhile, Pandora is determined to lose her virginity. But deaf girl Pixie is the biggest surprise when she proves she's certainly no pushover.
Episode 2/10 Cook

Cook is convinced his 17th birthday party will go down in history, with half the college due to show up at his uncle's pub. But the gang get waylaid by a phone call from Freddie's sister Karen who summons them to her best friend Kayleigh's engagement party. Kayleigh's father is local gangster Johnny White but that doesn't stop Cook upping the party tempo - with disastrous results.
Episode 3/10 Thomas

Thomas has travelled from the Congo to Britain and is on his own for a few days until his family arrive. Unfortunately, the abandoned flat where he takes shelter belongs to local gangster Johnny White who's certainly not going to let him live there for free. Luckily, Thomas's love of donuts brings him into contact with Pandora, who thinks she might be able to help him with his money troubles.
Episode 4/10 Pandora

Pandora is mourning Thomas's departure, so she decides to throw a party to cheer herself up. Just to get things going, Katie makes some chocolate brownies using some illicit ingredients, but she doesn't tell Pandora, or her mother, who innocently helps herself to the appetising treats. As Katie watches her friend's mother lose the plot, Pandora lets down her guard - but will she regret it the next day?
Episode 5/10 Freddie

Freddie is nothing like his extrovert older sister Karen. While Karen has reached the finals of a TV talent show, Freddie hates the celebrity game. To make matters worse, the rest of his family have made up a story about their dead mother to get Karen the sympathy vote and hopefully increase her chances of winning. Disgusted by the whole affair, Freddie retreats to his shed, where he is roused from his gloomy mood by the arrival of Effy.
