Plot summaryAfter the holidays, Chelsea, Jemma, Sumitha and Laura meet at Jemma's to talk about what they did over the summer. Chelsea tells them that she dated a boy called Juan in Spain, but that he was only interested in sex. Sumitha began dating Bilu Chakrabarti after she met him in Kolkata visiting her grandparents. Laura tells the girls that she could not stand spending time with Betsy on holidays and Jemma summarizes week she spent in Paris. Jon cannot choose between Laura and Sumitha. He asks Sumitha out, but she declines because she is dating Bilu. Instead, Jon spends time with Laura. Jon's dad accepts that he will not study law, and respects his choice to become an artist. Jon is worried that his mother is being unfaithful because of her relationship with Vernon, a university friend. When he confronts Anona, she tells him that Vernon is gay. Jemma meets Rupert Kentigan-Fry at a golf club and is surprised to learn that he likes her. They meet again at his sister's birthday party, but his friends ridicule her for attending a state school. Rupert takes her to the garden to dance, but Jemma feels insulted when he feels her up. Jemma plays Nancy in Oliver, and Rob Antell develops a crush on her. Laura's mum is pregnant, and her boyfriend Melvyn wants to move in. Angry, Laura runs away to her father's house, but he and Betsy insist she returns home. Laura attempts to dye her hair black to attract Jon's attention, but the dye comes out wrong. Melvyn pays for a professional hairdresser to fix it, and Laura decides he is not as stupid as she thought. Sumitha is in love with Bilu, but he is not always nice to her. He takes her to a party where she gets drunk and then his friend Giles drugs her drink. Bilu begins to drive her home, but leaves her alone at a gas station after she calls her parents. Sumitha breaks up with him, and her father apologises for pressuring her to date a Bengali boy. Characters
