Tony And Maxxie
Tony has sustained a massive head injury after being hit by a car. Taking care of their invalid friend has been tough for Sid and Michelle, so Maxxie is looking after Tony for the day. But Maxxie has problems of his own. He desperately wants to leave college to become a dancer, and his dad is set against it. Meanwhile, Tony's parents have the same attitude when he announces he wants to return to college.

Sketch
Maxxie has a creepy feeling someone is watching him. But when his stalker turns out to be a girl, Sketch, he's not impressed. As the college production of Osama: the Musical teeters on the brink of disaster under the heavy-handed guidance of lecherous drama teacher Bruce, the obsessive Sketch is prepared to do anything to get her leading man - and if she can't have him, she'll make sure nobody can.

Sid
Sid's already struggling with Tony's condition and Cassie's departure to Scotland, so the arrival of his terminally ill granddad - a notorious Glaswegian hard man - along with Sid's uncle Sandy and his two weird cousins, does nothing to improve his mood. Add to the mix Sid's estranged mum and it's Jenkins family meltdown time. But when Sid comes down to breakfast one morning, he makes a discovery for which nothing could have prepared him.

Michelle
When Michelle's mum Anna gets married - again - Michelle has to contend with a new, big-breasted, emotionally manipulative stepsister, Scarlett. Before she knows it, Scarlett is invading her life, co-opting her friends and offering unwanted advice about her still incapacitated ex-boyfriend. So when Scarlett inveigles her self into Michelle's birthday camping trip and starts to move in on the emotionally fragile Sid, Michelle's forced to take drastic action.

Chris
Chris's college career has already featured drugs, petty theft, non-attendance and resounding failure, so when he's caught having sex in the science corridor, it's the final straw. Homeless and penniless, Chris is going downhill fast - until Jal steps in with a challenge. She'll try to unwind a little if he gets his act together. So as Chris begins a series of short-lived jobs, and moves into the smallest bedsit in Bristol, Jal begins to chill out. And when she does, she's a revelation.

Tony
Since his accident, Tony has been isolated, living in a world of half-understood dreams. He tries to act normal, but bumping into Sid and Michelle at a club sends him spiralling again. As he tries to escape, Tony encounters a strange, beautiful girl who seems to understand what he's going through. The next day, at a university open day, Tony runs into her again. His head tells him she's an angel. But can he ever trust his head again?

Effy
Chaos reigns in the Stonem household and it seems it's down to Effy to sort things out. With Dad working abroad, Mum's lost the plot and Tony can't think of anything apart from Michelle. As if all this wasn't enough, the deadline for Effy's GCSE art coursework is looming and she's been told to babysit the new girl, Pandora. How can Effy ever hope to maintain her reputation for being the wildest kid on the block?

Jal
Jal faces the biggest dilemma of her life so far but until she works out what to do about it, she's forced to keep it a secret. In the meantime, she's up against the pressures of exams, auditions for music school, and emotionally demanding best friends - and now Chris wants her to move in with him. Little does she know he's keeping a very important secret from her.

Cassie
Cassie's back with Sid, Chris is on the mend, Michelle and Tony are together again, and exams are finally over. To celebrate, Sid has organised a dinner party where everyone can try to get along. But how can they? Relationships are strained, Jal is lying to Chris, Chris is lying to everyone, and tragedy is about to strike. When it does, it's all too much for Cassie, who runs until she's far, far away.

Final Goodbyes
It's the day of the A-level results - and Chris's funeral. The gang have made a pact not to look at their grades until after they've said goodbye to Chris. But Jal can't face getting out of bed and Cassie is halfway across the world. To cap it all, Chris's dad Graham appears and creates a problem for Sid. So who does Sid go to? Tony, who comes up with an enterprising solution that could restore their friendship.
