The episode opens with a shot of the shared house. Daisy's in the shower, washing her hair whilst singing Teenage Dirtbag.

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

She stops singing and starts to step out of the shower to grab her towel, but as she does, the door slides open and Levi is standing there. "Oh my god," Daisy screams, grabbing the towel as quickly as possible. Levi's stood gormless. He can't help but look; her slim figure has immediately caught his eye. "Nothing I haven't seen before," he laughs after a moment of awkward silence.

"Except we're sober this time," Daisy counters, albeit lightheartedly. "Of course this student house has no locks," she sighs. Levi turns around and moves the lock on the door backwards and forwards. "It does have a lock, you just didn't use it," he chuckles, locking them in the room together. "What. Are. You Doing?!" She cocks her head to the side. "I'm just showing you how to use it since you're incapable," he laughs.

We go to 4 Pembroke Drive and see an exterior shot of the Barrow sibling's residence.

"I'm going to go and tell her," Luke exclaims. "No excuses. I'm going to man up, walk right into 16 Pembroke Drive, and tell her that I love her." Evelyn giggles at her brother. "If you do it with that much conviction, then you can't lose." Luke's eyes look slowly up at his sister with hope flaring out of them. "Do you think?"

More than life by Chanin plays.

I've been through ups and downs, and I almost lost myself
Too many days to count them, too many nights in hell
But you never left when I had no belief
The reason I smile and the reason I breathe

"I don't know, Luke. Just remember Ella has a lot going on right now," Evelyn reminds him. "Yeah, and I wanna be there for her through all of that. Besides, she'll always be Ella to me. Nothing's changed." Evelyn smiles and kisses her brother on the side of his cheek. "You deserve happiness more than anyone I know." He smiles brightly back at his sister. "Well wish me luck," he dashes to the front door and gives his sister a wave. "Good luck!" she shouts after him but as Luke leaves, another person enters. Billie and Luke pass each other and exchange quick 'hi's'.

Back at the shared house, the warm steam from the bathroom is swirling around Daisy and Levi. Daisy adjusts her towel wrapped snugly around her body, trying to shake off the unexpected thrill that rushes through her. Levi isn't moving his eyes, they are locked onto hers and now Daisy's are starting to reciprocate. Her pulse quickens. She attempts to open her mouth to retort, to tell him off, but no words come out. Instead, she watches as Levi's gaze drifts from her eyes to her lips.

"Levi, please," she whispers but it lacks conviction. There's a plea there, but it isn't for him to leave. He takes a step closer and she can feel the heat of his clothed body radiating off of her own. His hand reaches out, brushing her wet hair back from her face. She looks downwards, biting her lip. This would be a mistake and she knows it, but before she can react any further his hand is bringing her head forward and closer to his lips until they hit.
