The beautiful and elusive Effy is joined by her kooky best friend, Pandora. The guys are led by the irrepressible and irresponsible Cook, the daring and charismatic leader of the gang.
On Cook's 17th birthday, the gang flirt their way into Karen's friend Kayleigh's engagement party, upsetting Kayleigh's gangster dad, guest star Mackenzie Crook.
Thomas arrives from the Congo, alone, penniless and homeless. But a chance meeting with Effy and Pandora puts him right.
Katie uses 'special ingredients' to make chocolate brownies for Pandora's party, but doesn't warn Pandora or her mum, Sally Phillips, who indulges in the choccie treats.
Freddie is the black sheep of his family, and seen as a waste of space. If this wasn't bad enough, living in the shadow of the reckless Cook is doing his head in.
Naomi thinks she has the world worked out, and puts people into pigeonholes: her hippy mum; adoring Emily; Cook's insulting misogyny; and the flattery of her politics teacher Kieron.
JJ's feeling lost and confused. The conflict within the gang has taken its toll on him. But Emily proves to be a true friend in his hour of need.
Katie is making the most of the fact that she's replaced Effy as Queen Bee, but invites Effy to a party in the woods, where the gang come across some scary poachers.
Katie won't leave the house. Fortunately, Emily is able to disguise herself as her sister, and sits an exam on her behalf.
Cook and Effy are in self-imposed exile: they've gone to stay with Cook's father. Back in Bristol, JJ is trying to snap Freddie out of his depressed stupor.
