Cassie struggles with anorexia as she receives mysterious text messages; Mad Twatter shows up at the Skins gang's college as a substitute teacher, looking to collect his spliff payment.
Tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight: For Cassie.
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Just when Sid thinks he's safe at school, Mad Twatter becomes his substitute teacher.
- Continuity Nod:
- Abigail's mother is Cassie's therapist, and in the middle of releasing Cassie, she gets an angry call from Abigail.
- A reminder of Sid's Epic Fail at losing his virginity pops up via a Post-It note on his forehead.
- Even the Dog Is Ashamed: Cassie's baby brother seems disguted by his parents' PDA.
- Fade to Black: Right before Cassie eats a burger at the end.
- Failed a Spot Check: Sid fails to notice the lipstick on his forehead until Tony tells him.
- Fan Disservice: Cassie walks around Michelle's house in her underwear at the beginning of the episode, less for arousal's sake and more to show off the toll her anorexia's taken.
- In-universe, Cassie's father painting her mother nude. While it's fanservice for the audience, it's...Cassie's father painting her mother nude.
- Fanservice:
- As mentioned above, Cassie's (incredibly busty) mother posing naked for a painting.
- Chris at the start when Cassie is examining him. He is introduced asleep and fully naked (with a lingering shot of his butt), and is implied to have an erection. Less so, Sid, Maxxie, Chris, and Tony running out of the house shirtless when Michelle's mother comes home.
- Tony, Sid, and Chris walk in on Angie showering, with a lingering shot of Angie in only a thong.
- I Resemble That Remark!: As Dr. Stock's describing the safety of the clinic, Cassie glimpses a crazy patient running across the lawn and being brought back to the clinic by the balls.
- Not What It Looks Like:
- Three boys emerge from the staff showers, one in his boxers. It's Tony, Sid and Chris, high-tailing it after going to dry Tony's pants and seeing Angie naked in the process.
- Cassie receives hallucinatory texts twice right after seeing Sid on the phone, prompting her to think Sid's the sender.
- Parental Neglect: Cassie's parents are wrapped in their sex life, to the point neither of them are aware Cassie's checking out of the clinic until she tells them and their father paints pictures of Cassie's mum giving birth. Repeat: he paints PICTURES. Of Cassie's MUM. Giving BIRTH. And then hangs them up in the baby's room.
- Shower of Love: Deconstructed. Cassie's parents have loud sex in the shower, and it's obvious that it's not at all helping Cassie's fragile psyche.
- Through the Eyes of Madness: The whole episode.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: Turns out those texts are hallucinations from Cassie's subconscious telling her to eat.
