[edit] Plot
After taking viagra the previous night, Chris wakes up with a massive erection, he makes his way downstairs and finds an envelope left by his mum containing £1000. There is also a note explaining that she will be gone for a few days.
Chris invites Tony and the rest of the gang around and they decide to throw a party.
During the party Michelle confronts Tony about the state of their relationship. Angie turns up and asks Chris why she was invited. Chris reassures her and they begin to dance. Unfortunately for Chris, the viagra is still in full effect.
The following morning Chris orders pizza but realises that he is now out of money. In search of more money, he goes to his Mum's bedroom which is completely empty.
After being physically thrown out of his house by a squatter, Chris goes with Jal to his dad's house, Chris's stepmum is very keen to look after him, however, Chris's Dad does not want him there. Chris holds a baby while in the house (presumably his half-brother), which he then drops, accidentally, prompting Chris to leave. He runs away from the house, with Jal following him. The pair end up in a graveyard. Chris tells Jal a story about the happiest day of his life, which involves his brother. Jal asks Chris if he thinks that his mum will ever return, and he says that he knows she is not far away, as she has put flowers on the grave. The pair walk away, and we see that the grave is that of Chris's brother. Chris then walks back and places a spliff on top of the gravestone.
The episode ends with Angie (Siwan Morris) taking pity on Chris and putting him up in a college dorm.
