Brendan spots someone laying into Joel, Mitzeee is seen running through the forest handcuffed to prison cellmate Lauren, Cheryl gets news from Nana Flo, while Jono, Bart and Neil head to Amsterdam for the ultimate lads' trip.

Brendan furiously drives the streets, searching for Joel's dangerous stepdad Mick. Mitzeee thinks of a way to rid herself of Lauren, but will she go through with it? In Amsterdam, Lola and Bart grow curiously closer, while Neil has a bizarre encounter.

Joel has locked himself in the bathroom, completely freaked out and unable to cope with recent events. The fun in Amsterdam continues as Jono, Bart and Lola spend the day together, while Lauren and Mitzeee need a getaway driver.

Brendan finally finds Cheryl in hospital with Nana Flo. Lauren, Nancy and Mitzeee stage a situation to get Mitzeee alone with Riley. In Amsterdam, Bart takes things too far and ends up putting himself in danger.
