102 (Sooz's POV)
In this episode we are shown life from Sooz's point of view for the first time. On the outside, Sooz is a grungy, tough, unique, rebellious teenager with multiple peircings and dreadlocks. On the inside we learn she is quite insecure, and has a deep crush on her friend, Rob. Sooz is working on an art project and tries to photograph people's tattoos, but no one shows up to be her model. Jamie says it's because she scares men. Rob, seeing that Sasha is going out with a new guy, offers to pose for Sooz to get Sasha jealous and turns up at her house. Sooz takes photos of Rob's tattoo and the pair find they get on well. She ends up painting a tattoo on his back and while she trys to hide her feelings, they have a moment. Sooz lets spill that Sasha is getting serious with her new boyfriend but is unable to reveal how she feels to Rob.

While still not ready to tell his parents he's gay, Alex tries to meet an attractive man he saw on the club, even though all his friends keep telling him it'll never happen. When he finally gets a date with the guy (after joining the gym just so he could talk to him), Al's looks are ruined by Sasha's fight with Chris (who was only with her for sex). He tries to borrow some of Jamie's clothes, but Jamie is too busy with a girl on the internet. So Al has to go to Dan's house looking like crap, and Dan takes care of him. Al lies about his age, following Sooz's advice that the age difference would ruin it. Dan tells Alex he's a cop.

The group decides to play truth or dare. Nicki and Sasha only want to laugh at the other's secrets, and everyone else feels uncomfortable and embarrassed. Among dares such as kisses and revealing imtimate secrets, Nicki and Sasha laugh at Jamie when he tries to share an emotional moment. During a dare where they both have to run around the block in their underwear, Sooz and Rob nearly share a kiss. Sasha keeps going after Sooz and tries to humiliate her.

Everyone tries to cheer up Alex as he's depressed over Dan, but nothing seems to work. Nonetheless, the group plan a surprise party for his 18th Birthday at the H20 club. Jamie calls Dan asking him to show up. Dan is doubtful at first and asks if Al is seeing anyone and Jamie assures him he's not. But Jamie didn't count on Alex meeting a guy playing darts. At the party, Alex is ecstatic to see that his beloved Dan is there, and Jamie desperately tries to keep Jeff away from Al. He even comes on to Jeff, who is shocked to learn that Alex is gay. He tells him that he only wanted to play darts and that his boyfriend came on to him, and Dan thinks Alex is lying again. Alex tells Jamie that he actually bought Jeff to set him up with Sooz. Meanwhile Sooz is busy getting drunk to deal with her depression over Rob, and Rob is worried she'll spill the beans over their kiss to Sooz. Dan almost leaves, but stops when Chris confronts him over some money he owes. Dan offers to help Alex, and Alex accepts, even though Dan only wants to be friends with him.

Nicki is being a man-eater again and wants to get some action with Chris (the same guy Sasha went out with), but can't risk ending up alone on Louise's welcome back party. She flirts with Jamie, her "plan B", who is so naive that actually believes Nicki wants something with him. Sooz discovers Nicki's entire plan and tries to warn Jamie, who doesn't listen to her. Nicki doesn't have second thoughts when the first opportunity of having sex with Chris comes up, but deeply regrets it later when she finds out she was his "plan B". She decides then to make up with Jamie, but Sooz doesn't let her. They insult each other and pretty soon they're rolling on the ground, pulling each other's hair and ruining the party for everybody.

Surprisingly, someone actually calls Jamie and meets with him at the coffee place, where she asks him about parties.

The party gets going but soon overcrowds, and Jamie's woman brings her huge boyfriend with her. A gigantic fight starts after Nicki and Sooz exchange insults once again and Alex tries to put a stop to it. The place is destroyed, and everyone's disappointed at Jamie. He has a heart-to-heart talk with Sooz, during which she tells him about the time she almost committed suicide. Jamie says she shouldn't do that, because there are people who care about her, and they kiss.
