As part of the community service the team help out at a centre for terminally ill young people, organized by Karen. Finn befriends Ben, who admits that he is only feigning illness for the attention but after Ben has been hugged by cancer victim Lucas he kills himself whilst Lucas appears to be in remission. Lucas then hugs Finn, who, like Ben, attempts suicide but is saved by the others. It becomes apparent that Lucas's power is to temporarily extend his life at others' expense and the gang persuade him that he must end it all to save future victims. Alex has a run-in with gay Hayley, who puts a curse on him when he refuses to help her retrieve lost keys whilst Maggie gives Rudy 2 another jumper, showing Helen and himself as a couple and Karen as another super-hero.
