Patsy and Edina try to get down and dirty!

"Sex" begins with Edina wanting more room for her clothing, but Saffy refuses to give up her bedroom. Saffy suggests Serge's room. Patsy and Edina go into Serge's long-vacated room to have a look around. Saffy trails behind and finds a copy of "Razzle" magazine in the room. Patsy is alarmed over the discovery of the porn magazine, which leads us to believe she was once a centerfold. She calms down when she learns the issue of the magazine is not the one in question. The three look at the magazine, and Saffron gets disgusted. Patsy and Edina begin to have a discussion on sex, and their differences on the subject. Edina describes her discomfort and difficulties concerning sex. Patsy suggests they hire a couple of men for a night of sexual exploration. Meanwhile, Saffy has a group of friends over to discuss their work on genetics and ethics. Two of the friends are Sarah and Caroline (Caroline Waldron, who would return as Saffy's college friend in "Fear" and "The End.") Patsy and Edina eventually end up downstairs with Saffy and her group. They disrupt the group's activity with sex talk and the porn magazine. In the evening, Saffy finds her mother reading "The Joy Of Sex." Saffy gets Edina to reveal the sexual romp she and Patsy have planned. Always being the responsible one, Saffy tells her mother she'll get her some contraceptives. The following day has Patsy meeting Edina at the P.R. office to discuss the details of their carnal escapade. Patsy is planning to bring an amateur porn video to spice things up. Edina's hairdresser, Christopher (James Dreyfus, who would return in "The Last Shout"), provides the names of the men to select from. Christopher's companion, David (Ian Gelder), also tries to help. The night of the event has come, and Saffy is at her school doing the genetics and ethics presentation. Christopher and David show up at Edina's with the two guys who will be Patsy and Edina's playmates for the evening. The hairdresser and his companion are allowed to wait in the basement kitchen, because they've got time to waste before David's drag show engagement. Mrs. M. spies on Patsy and Edina's exploits, and eventually gets into the house through the kitchen window. She makes the mistake of thinking David in drag is actually Patsy. Upstairs, Patsy puts in the porn video, but it's realized it isn't the intended video. That means Saffy mistakenly took the porn video to her school presentation! Patsy is in a panic, and guarantees Edina that they need to get the video immediately. Christopher and David get caught up in the drama, and rush them to the college in their car. It's chaos as Patsy, Edina, Christoper, David (still in drag), and Edina's mother search the school. They finally find the room where the presentation is being held, but it's too late because the porn video has already begun to play. Bubble has a very brief scene in this episode.
