Off the Hook

Episode 2

The students' accommodation is condemned so Scarlet and the boys transfer into a block that reminds Fred of death, with a faulty lift and the hideously jolly bongo player Keith as a neighbour. Danny apologizes to Scarlet for making a show of himself over Becky and they agree to be 'mates'. A sultry third-year girl invites Shane and Danny to a hip-hop party where Shane lands his long-suffering friend in it once more by passing him off as an expert rapper and encouraging him to spout offensive lyrics.

Episode 3

Danny has a photography project on the subject of Female Beauty, which he hopes will impress visiting lensman Johnny Cantor, but Shane junks his photos with the rubbish after they're left on the floor. Following an unfortunate misunderstanding in which he's caught hiding in a locker whilst some girls are changing, he takes some shots of Scarlet without her knowledge and these are projected, blind, at the exhibition. Everybody is impressed – until they see that Shane has left equally embarrassing photos among them.

Seal the Deal

By some miracle, a pair of German exchange students, sisters Fleur and Flugengraft, find Shane's jokes amusing so he asks them on a double date with Danny but the lads have no money. At Fred's suggestion, they act as paid guinea pigs testing pills for the chemistry department but the side effects are halitosis, belching, flatulence, turning green and passing out — all of which occur on the date.

Episode 5

When sinister tokens are left around the flat, Scarlet and the boys suspect their rarely glimpsed and mysterious roommate 'Weird Bloke'. Despite this, they press on with a fancy Halloween party but 'Weird Bloke' ruins this as well, setting off the smoke alarm and driving the guests away. The flatmates decide to confront him once and for all... and are in for a shock!

Episode 6

Not only does 'Weird Bloke', whose real name is Wendy, take a shine to Danny but gormless Shane has put him forward to stand as First Year Student President, with no manifesto. His opponent is the well-prepared Figaro, with Scarlet as his running mate. Thanks to 'Weird Bloke' putting a hex on Figaro, Danny wins the election, but he will not upset Scarlet by cheating, as she gratefully acknowledges as he allows himself to be disqualified.
