Effy and Freddie are living together but Freddie is troubled by Effy's morbid outlook and her obsession with death. He visits Norman,his grandfather,in his residential home and the old man tells Freddie he believes that Effy should have psychiatric treatment. Effy then locks herself in a bath-room and attempts suicide but survives and is taken to hospital. Freddie visits but she rebuffs him. However Cook,who has apparently escaped from custody,turns up and advises Freddie to persevere. Written by don @ minifie-1
After the magnificent last episode, I was a little disappointed by this one, that, nevertheless, was interesting and deserving. Although it was meant to concentrate on Freddie (maybe the weakest character in the group), I felt everything was pointed on Effy and Freddie wasn't given that much as I had hoped, but well, that's my humble opinion. Now I'm feeling strange writing this comment, because I still have to metabolize what I've seen, which was in many ways different from the usual Skins, talking about directing style (a lot of hand-held camera and slant frames) and themes developed, I've never thought Skins could face such serious issues. All in all, I'm waiting Effy's episode hoping some things will be cleared enough.
