History Headscratchers / Skins

* Where does Cassie get all this money, as a runaway, to just randomly [[spoiler: fly to the USA]]? And how does she [[spoiler: get a job as a waitress as a non-citizen without so much as a green card]]?

*** The way I see it he always knew she loved him he just didn’t care because he felt that she was pissing her life away even if she did. That scene of him a Rich together was suppose to be Blood saying “OK I don’t approve of you and I never would have, but now she’d dead and I know you where the only boy she ever loved so I think it would be a betrayal of her not to share this with you”, don’t know why he didn’t invite her other friends to the funeral

* MagnificentBastard or not how could anyone actually stand being around Tony? the guy was a constant SmugSnake and evil prick for most of the the season, there are celebrities with less than his level of douchery and they are dispiesed.

** Jealousy and shame induced StressVomit, presumably.

** Actually that's the legal PURCHASE age for alcohol in the UK, the UK ''drinking'' age is five but only on private premises with parental / guardian permission. So if it's ever at private party on private premises the characters aren't breaking the law if the drink was bought for them by an adult. It is however illegal to buy alcohol for rando teens who ask you too on the street as you aren't their parent or guardian.

** I think we're supposed to assume she was disgusted at the idea of Freddie being with someone else/Effy is disgusted at herself for letting her guard down to go tell Freddie how she felt.

** Effy (who was 15 in Gen 2) put all the pictures of him and Cassie on him while he was asleep so he knows that she set up the whole things so that Sid and Cass would talk and make up

* Not so much a headscratcher, just a piece of trivia. Holly Earl, the girl who played Poppy Champion who was supposed to be 13 and who had a pedophilic storyline revolve around her, but Holly is in fact a year older than Will Merrick, who played Alo. She is 23 while he's 22.

* Why did Effy vomit after she left Freddie's shed, in her season 3 episode?

*** We don't even know if Rich was at the funeral, do we? We didn't see him complaining about not being invited with the others but only because he disappeared completely for a few episodes afterwards. And if Blood genuinely cared about not betraying her memory, he would invite the whole gang because he had to know deep down that Grace would have wanted them there. The only reason he ever had to dislike them was that HE thought they would be bad for her in the long-term, but now that she's dead anyway, all that should matter is that they loved her, and should get to say goodbye to her. Still, I guess you'll only get so far trying to apply logic to him, he was a Jerkass from the start. Also, Rich rapist issue still unresolved.

** Letting that pretty extreme issue slide, it seems odd that Blood finally accepts that Grace really did love Rich and vice versa at the end, and lets Rich comfort him, but then seems to be back to his old ways in the next episode when he doesn't let anyone come to the funeral.

* How do Liv and Mini not know who Grace's dad is until they find out with the rest of the gang? Grace joined Roundview College with a fake surname to hide the fact that she's the daughter of the headmaster who wants to keep it hidden. Trouble is, they're supposed to have known Grace long before college. Even if you let slide how difficult and unlikely it would be for his identity to be kept hidden from her best friends all these years, you still have to ask why would they try to before Grace has even started attending Roundview?

** Really? Is this a serious question (honestly, I can't tell with that last sentence)? Even here in America, where our drinking age is three years higher (thus making it harder for your average teen to pass as old-enough) and the police are much more concerned about underage drinking, plenty of teens are still able to get alcohol with fake [=ID=]s. I imagine it's even easier in Britain. It's not rocket science, at least if you know the right people to get a convincing fake... which, considering all the drug-dealing the ''Skins'' characters are involved with, they probably do.

** Likely through fake IDs, and sometimes through smooth-talking the guards (for getting into clubs) or bartenders - we see Effy do this to the guard at a club in her S2 episode, which leads him to let her and Pandora in and keep Tony out.

* How does Sid know that Jake is fifteen?

*** But as that same episode establishes, most of that money would go back to pay their dealers. In ''Skins'', selling drugs is a way to earn spending money, not a way to earn a living wage.
