- Jay is talking to a friend from 'when he had trails at west ham', The boys make fun of him for having a new friend they don't know. Starting the future running joke of saying the word friend.
- Charlotte, the popular girl turns up and meets will alone in the kitchen. He has opened her bottle of wine mistakenly but she offers him a glass. He awkwardly strikes up a conversation with her.
- Jay walks in and tries to show off saying he is much funnier than will. Charlotte asks him to prove it and make her laugh. He fails terribly.
- Simon stares at a girl he finds beautiful but comes across creepy. He also thinks that because will is chatting to charlotte that means things are changing as the gang might be popular now.
- Charlotte takes will upstairs, to his surprise. The other boys discuss that they heard that charlotte was dating someone. Jay says he thinks its donavan but neil says no but he can't remember who it is. Simon asks him to think because if it is donavan they should warn will. Charlotte and will kiss upstairs.  After much deliberating Neil says it is infact donavan and simon panics as donavan walks in. He approaches charlottes friends then walks over to the gang. Simon pretends he doesn't know where will is but jay reveals he is upstairs with charlotte, presumably out of jealousy. Donavan walks in on charlotte and will kissing and demands will leaves, as he goes to leave charlotte makes him stay and she tells donavan they are over.
- neil reveals he doesn't need to pull as he has a sure thing lined up. He has volunteered to be on the school's blind date event.
- the girl simon keeps looking at also keeps looking at him, which he takes as a sign that she's interested. He walks over but when he gets close she asks him to leave which he does, embarrassed.
- Simon asks the boys not to discuss will pulling with his dad but jay blurts it out immediately causing simon's dad to reveal details from his youth much to simon's annoyance and embarrassment. . Will also refuses to reveal what happened at the party with charlotte saying 'a gentlemen never tells'.
- charlotte says hello to the gang at school, will decides to follow and chat to her on the way into school and she reveals some intimate details about her weekend but will ignores and asks her about other things. Charlotte thinks this is because will is awkward about sex and asks him if he is a virgin. Will lies and says he has slept with 2 girls, and charlotte says she has slept with 11 to which will replies he meant 5. He lies badly about who he's slept with and charlotte offers him to come round her house to make her his number 6. They kiss and will is excited.
- The boys find neil reading in the library as he wants to appear clever for his blind date event at school. He wants to appear clever as girls like clever boys but he is struggling with the books.
- Charlotte texts will even tho they are in the same room, jay says she won't come over because she is so embarrassed of will but will reveals that they are going to have sex on friday so she can't be that ashamed of him. He also shares with the boys that he told her he wasn't a virgin, jay offers his advice which everyone is sure is a lie. Simon says he thinks everybody can see charlotte is just using will to make donavan jealous, will is upset because they don't know charlotte and they think he isn't her type. The boys and will fall out and simon says they aren't friends.
- wills mum tells him he shouldn't go for the pretty girls as everyone is after them and he would have more of a chance with the plainer girls, will is again hurt by this.
- Jay's football friend drives up and he goes to say hello, the boys whisper friend jokes and so he has an awkward conversation with him and palms off the offer to drive the car later.
- will is in bed with charlotte, he asks her if she is going to hurt him, she ignores the question. they try to have sex but it becomes obvious that will doesn't know what he's doing. Charlotte tries to help him but gives up and asks him to leave and not tell anyone what happened and not to count it as loosing his virginity.
- The boys are still winding jay up about his football friend and they spot his car. Jay gets so annoyed he jumps onto the bonnet and starts jumping around and shouting.
- At the school blind date event, neil picks the girl who was also new at the same time as will and is clearly very clever. Neil is gutted when he sees the other contestants. The boys see will and approach him asking where his girlfriend is, will lies and says she is meeting him here. Will speaks to another of the fellow new kids he met on the first day who asks him about his girlfriend. will reveals her name and that he loves her. As the next blind date develops it is revealed that charlotte is taking part, upsetting will as she reveals herself to be single and that she has been messing around with boys but is looking for a man. The boys and everyone laugh.
- will is upset at home with his mum, He is sad that he dumped his friends for a girl and that she humiliated him. His mums suggests he moves schools incase he is bullied again but will insists he stays and that he has never been bullied. the doorbell goes and it is the boys, they want to ask him to come and witness neil's date as the girl is very young and infant taking her a levels early. Her mum has had to go on the date with them which the boys think is hilarious. will agrees to go as it amuses him also. Will asks how jays football friend is, to which jay explains they aren't friends anymore and he had to borrow £300 pound to fix the car after he damaged it.
- Will explains through voiceover what he learnt during the episode.

The cast is starting to expand slightly and also increase the tension between donavan and will. Potentially leading to a future large confrontation. the hapless boys also seem to have no luck with women and even tho it has gone slightly better for will than simon it still ends in failure. This is something that i think is important for the first series as the audience will want them to succeed more and care more about the characters rather than if they were the ones who always got the girl. People can relate more to them if they are a bit of an average joe or underdog. This is something to think about with my characters because i don't want them all to be average joes and not good with girls, i think its unrealistic for one group of friends to be all unsuccessful and rather it would be 1 or 2 out of a friendship that struggle.

Stay safe,

Helen
