Katie (Megan Prescott) won’t leave the house. Fortunately, Emily (Kathryn Prescott) is able to disguise herself as her sister, and sits an exam for her, facilitating the self-imposed house-arrest.
Katie flaunts her new-found status as Queen Bee by inviting Effy to a party in the woods on the condition that she drives but does not bring Cook. Jealousy and rivalries create a tense atmosphere until the teenagers find magic mushrooms and decide to experiment. However, they soon realise they are not alone and terror strikes, but Effy sees an opportunity to follow her heart.
JJ’s (Ollie Barbieri ) feeling lost and confused. The upset within the gang has taken its toll on him, and his fine balancing act has come unstuck. When he visits his psychiatric clinic, he just gets given more drugs. At home, his mother (Juliet Cowan) is worn out with it all, and away from the home, JJ can see his friends coming apart at the seams. With Effy (Kaya Scodelario) at such a low ebb, and the chance discovery of Cook (Jack O’Connell), Freddie (Luke Pasqualino) and Pandora’s (Lisa Backwell) secrets, he feels the burden to be overwhelming. But an unlikely member of the gang - Emily (Kathryn Prescott ) - proves to be the true friend at his time of need.
