Nonetheless, Rich has all the ingredients that make up a great Skins episode: crazy house parties, a brilliant turn from the adult supporting cast Chris Addison is magnificent as Blood , laugh-out-loud humour, friendships torn apart, heartbreaking romance, surrealism, and outlandish plot complications. Despite some distressing stuff towards the end of the episode, the show has also never been funnier.
There are plenty of laughs here to break up the impending doom, and the mixture of light and dark works beautifully. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!

Grace tells him that Blood's going to move her again, but she doesn't know where.
Rich begs her to meet him in Paris, but before they can arrange anything, Blood returns and she has to hang up. Later, Rich is surprised to hear Alo and O'Malley rehearsing downstairs - Alo's still eager to hold a gig in the house. Rich is less keen, and throws Alo's amp outside. Soon, Alo and Rich are fighting in the garden. Alo claims that he's trying to help Rich - music helps everything - but Rich says he's just doing it so Mini won't be embarrassed about sleeping with him.
Alo throws a punch, Rich headbutts him, and it's all getting quite ugly. Rich tells him that they'll gig when he breaks it off with Mini which Alo is understandably not keen to do. So Rich throws Alo's guitar in the tree and storms off. Alo doesn't do himself any favours - when he sees Mini in the window smiling at him, he can't help himself.
Sweetly, Rich goes to see Liv at a cafe. She's upset that no-one told her Grace had woken up, and soon begins crying. Rich adorably orders her some biscuits, and she does feel better I like this scene, because we haven't seen much of Rich and Liv, and they were lovely together.
Anyway, they call Franky to tell her that Grace woke up and are pleased to hear she can speak fluent French - they'll go and find Grace in Paris! The plan perks Rich up and he goes to make things up with Alo he even keeps Mini sleeping with him a secret for the pair of them. So they throw a huge party and Rich and Alo even perform with their band.
But suddenly, Rich sees Grace's face in the crowd He rips his guitar off and runs through the crowd, but can't see her anywhere. He even accidentally mistakes someone else for her. Alo says he made a mistake and they'll look for her the next day, but Rich can't wait that long. He pushes his way upstairs and finds Grace waiting for him in her bedroom. Rich apologises about the house trashing getting out of hand, but she replies: "Everything does, sooner or later.
She tells him that "everything's better now" and they have sex, but the music has kind of a dark undertone Afterwards, Grace turns over and goes to sleep. Rich tells her he loves her, but there's no response. The next morning, Rich wakes up but Grace isn't there. He walks through the trashed house and hears his ringtone again. Finding his phone in a bouquet of white roses, he answers it - and Grace tells him that she "had to go". She tells him that everything is beautiful and that she loves him before hanging up.
So after watching this episode with tears in my eyes, I had to come on IMDb to see what kind of reviews had been written for this series or specifically this episode. Only to find no written reviews existed! I was a huge fan of the first four series' and was disappointed no characters would return, so I tried watching series 5, only to be filled with bitter disappointment. A few years pass and Skins comes back with 3 two part specials, to which I thoroughly enjoyed.
However it wasn't until only two nights ago, I decided to give Series 5 a second chance. I'm so glad I did because I've binged all the episodes, up until this one and have fallen in love with the writing again and these new characters.
You can tell it's an old show because the mobile phones they use, are very outdated but these series' are still incredibly relevant in today's society. This episode was particularly special and because I don't want to give anything away, I would suggest watching all episodes with these characters because they really are brilliant!
