Mini, Grace, Franky, Liv, Alo, Rich, Matty, and Nick are on holiday in Morocco--in a crumbling villa with no roof, water, or electricity. While Mini gets together with Alo (demanding that he tells nobody), Franky tells Matty that she wants to end their relationship and she's easily attracted to suave Luke, whose party they crash. She agrees to go off with him, but Liv learns from a local boy that Luke is a notorious drug dealer and has planted 6 kilos of dope in the group's truck. Liv,Grace, and Matty pursue the fleeing couple, but the van crashes. Back at the college Grace is in a coma in hospital while Matty has run away in Morocco.

Conscious that she indirectly caused Grace's death and unable to concentrate on her mock exams, Franky feels alienated from her friends and smothered by her well-intentioned gay dads, so when drug-pusher Luke reappears, she finds herself drawn to his violent lifestyle; some of it even rubs off on her at home. Counseling is no help, and when Nick tries to intervene when Luke starts another fight and ends up getting hurt, Frank almost relishes it. But after snorting cocaine before enforced sex with Luke, she realizes what a brute he is and is ultimately reconciled with her dads and Nick.

Nick gets a Skype message from Matty in Morocco, telling him to go to a seedy club and ask for 'The Doctor,' a sinister Russian who will smuggle him back to England on a fake German passport for 2,000 pounds. Encountering hostility from his peers who blame Matty for Grace's death, Nick steals the money from his father's bank account but the Doctor cheats him and beats him up. Although she has accused him of being always in his brother's shadow and seen him kissing others, Franky offers a thousand pounds which she says is 'an inheritance' but Nick declares the deal off. However, the pair finally admit to their mutual feelings for each other and have sex; while Nick is in the bathroom afterwards, Franky sees a Skype message from Matty but switches the computer off without answering.

Tired of Mini's inconsistent attitude and unaware of her pregnancy, Alo quickly falls for vivacious Poppy, whom he meets at a fancy-dress party; they have consensual sex in her house and escape being caught by her argumentative parents. But Alo is shocked to find that Poppy is only 13 and soon he's arrested for assaulting a minor, suspended from college, and ostracized by his former friends. AT least it brings him closer to Mini and they have a heart-to-heart. She is about to tell him that she is pregnant when Poppy rings to say that she and her mother have persuaded her father to drop the charges against him.

Seeing Alex as her only close friend, Liv is upset when he goes away for a weekend; to make things worse, she feels a pain in her side and sees a lump, but she confides only in Principal Doug, who tells her he's leaving the college. Rich is too busy revising and attempts to get through to Franky, whom Liv still blames for Grace's death, and Mini comes to nothing. When Matty returns from Morocco, Liv takes him to see Franky but she has no desire to speak to him and another confrontation with Mini leads to a fight and Mini crying out that she is pregnant. A shocked Liv once more feels the pain in her side but a visit to the doctor proves that there is no lump: it was a psychosomatic reaction to Grace's death. Feeling better, Liv visits Grace's grave with her younger sister Maude, Doug, and Rich, and they end up dancing.
