A naked man with a huge cock just ran past.

Nathan: If you ever hurt her, I'll take you up to the vet and have you put down.

Our five young offenders are collecting rubbish, when they come upon a naked man, who turns out to be Nathan's mother's boyfriend, Jeremy. Nathan meets a lovely woman, Ruth, while they are supposed to be helping at an old folks home. It is revealed that others were affected by the storm, with Jeremy believing he is a Jack Russell dog at odd intervals and Ruth returning to her previous 82 year old state while having sex with Nathan. A mysterious individual also leaves a message in the community center locker room saying "I know what you did", while Simon starts chatting with Shygirl18 online and Curtis and Alisha flirt with each other. Sally, who replaces Tony as their probation officer, seems to want to get to know her charges better and seems to suspect more is going on then they let on.


Tropes

  • Captain Obvious: Nathan.
    Nathan: No one wants to look like a cunt.
  • Crying Wolf: Nathan's mother does not believe him when he warns her about Jeremy because he previously lied about her past boyfriend, Richard, sexually abusing him.
  • Parent with New Paramour
    Nathan's mother: Why can't you just be happy for me?
    Nathan: Because your boyfriend is some kind of psycho, rough trade, gay, rapist, werewolf!
    Nathan's mother: Every man I meet, there's always a reason you take against them.
  • Power Perversion Potential: Simon invisible in the locker room while the girls change.
  • A Rotten Time to Revert: It turns out that Ruth is actually one of the senior citizens visiting the community center: like the main characters, she was given powers by the Storm - in this case, the ability to make herself young again. Unfortunately for Nathan, this isn't revealed until Ruth loses control of her powers and reverts to her true age in mid-orgasm, resulting in Nathan suddenly finding himself screwing a very old woman.
  • Running Gag: Nathan says he was "done for eating some pic 'n' mix".
  • Sick and Wrong: Nathan's reaction to Jeremy's change.
    Nathan's mother: I've got to accept it. I mean some men dress up in women's clothing ...
    Nathan: They're just sick perverts. He's dangerous.
  • Shout-Out:
    • When they accuse Nathan of leaving the message in Curtis' locker, he says he would have been more creative and left something like "I Know What Movie You Saw Last Summer".
    • When Nathan shows Jeremy the picture he took of his "Cock, anus, ball sack", he says "George Michael gets away with this shit but he used to be in Wham. Who are you?"
    • Nathan tells his mother she cannot enter her boyfriend in Crufts.
