* InsistentTerminology: Will is the only person who refers to the field trip as the geography ''and sociology'' field trip. Justified, as he's studying sociology.


Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: Jay only picked geography as one of his A-level subjects because it offered the opportunity to go on the field trip.

* RuleOfPool: Clearly, this trope also applies to a boat trip in Swanage Harbour; as soon as the boys get on the boat, you just know that someone's going to fall into the water.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: NiceGirl or not, Lauren repeatedly inquiring about Will having mental problems despite his obvious attempts to halt the line of inquiry is ''not'' flattering behaviour.

* DudeNotFunny: Jealous of Neil impressing the classmates by getting a lorry driver to honk the horn, Jay tries to one-up him. His method? Waving sweetly at a minibus full of old ladies before showing them rude hand gestures. Neil is the only one who laughs. [[DeathGlare Everyone else is visibly unamused]].

* CringeComedy: Will cockblocking Simon with Lauren. Comes to a culmination when, after making it very explicit that the two of them wanted time alone together, Will continues to stand there and attempt to get Simon to leave with him even as Simon and Lauren are in the midst of a romantic hug.

It's time for the infamous sociology and geography field trip to Swanage. New girl, Lauren, has joined the school and Will has taken a particular shine to her. The only problem is that she has eyes for Simon.

!!This episode contains examples of:

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Jay goes off looking for a fictional "sexy housewife" who apparently gives out blowjobs to sixth form students. He allegedly heard about her from his friend in year 13, and the way he actively searches for her leads us to believe that it's not his own brand of bullshit, and that he did indeed hear it from somewhere. However it can also be interpreted as Jay merely trying to back up his claim of a real sexy housewife by pretending to search for one.
* CannotTellAJoke: Will's random "FEISTY ONE YOU ARE!" Yoda impression elicits awkwardly blank faces from Lauren and Simon as they ponder whether he's some sort of madman.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Jay's name for Will on the coach trip is Sponegbob shit-his-pants". In the season finale, Will shits himself during one of his exams.
