Howard and JP try to coax some female freshers to join their dry-slope skiing society, while Vod's summer fling turns up unexpectedly. And the gang go to visit Josie in Southampton where she's now studying. But her traffic-light party creates a few problems for Kingsley.

Vod comes up with a plan to get rid of her holiday romance. Howard likes a girl but JP thinks she's out of his league, so he tries to poach her in order to restore the natural order of things.

Having been rejected by Sam for cheating in the quiz, JP makes it his mission to win her back.

Vod announces that her mum is coming to stay and, when she arrives, she is not what anybody expected.

The housemates get radical as they participate in a university sit-in which Oregon has organized to demonstrate against the forced deportation of a hot Tunisian guy.

Word gets out that it's Howard's birthday, and Candice insists they throw him a party. Unfortunately, not everyone sees the gathering in quite the same terms.

Following last week's party some relationships and friendships are on the rocks. Oregon battles it out against Vod in the Student Union elections. Josie and Kingsley reach an unusual arrangement to overcome their relationship issues. Howard realises that it's now or never with Candice.
