Tony is friendless and trying to find his sister Effy, who is being led astray. It dawns on him that it’s all his fault. He recruits Sid to help him. They drive around the town in Sid’s dad’s car which Tony had took through hot-wiring. Eventually Sid finally stands up to Tony and tells him that no-one likes him anymore. Tony punches him through anger after Sid lists his faults. Sid abandons him, driving away leaving Tony on foot, and meets up with Cassie, who has been following him all night, and she tells him Tony’s worried he’s losing him. Sid and Cassie finally kiss, but he’s left hurting her again, as he goes to the aid of Tony after Michelle calls him, instead of staying with Cassie. They find out that Josh is behind this, seeking revenge on Tony after Tony humiliated him by setting up pornographic pictures of Josh’s sister on his phone and sending them to everyone. Tony arrives to find Effy drugged and unconscious, and Josh’s friends prevent him from calling an ambulance for her. Josh demands that Tony has incestuous sex with his sister, undoubtedly remembering his earlier humiliation. Tony tries to persuade him Michelle is not worth it, and begs Josh tearfully to reconsider. Josh relents and lets him leave with Effy, where they run into Sid who is driving his dad’s car. They take her to a hospital and it is confirmed that she is fine. Tony’s parents don’t know the whole story and believe Tony gave her drugs. Sid takes Tony out and comforts him. Tony explains he does not want to be the superficial guy with no friends, believing people wanted him to be that way, but admits there is more to him than that.
