Recap / Skins S 1 E 3 Jal

Go To

The cards are stacked against Jal as she enters a nationwide musical contest.

Tropes:

  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Friction and musical differences aside, Jal's brothers and their white friend chase down Mad Twatter without hesitation. Ditto for Ronny Fazer, who all but verbally orders Mad Twatter killed.
  • Black Sheep: Jal, a female classical music player in a family full of male grime musicians.
  • Dreadful Musician: Both of Jal's brothers.
  • Hidden Buxom: Jal normally dresses so conservatively that when she finally does show some cleavage, even Maxxie is mesmerized.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Mad Twatter displays skill on the clarinet when he snatches Jal's clarinet.
    • Ronny Fazer spits some amazing spoken word when he thinks he's alone in the studio.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Sid gets his finger caught in Jal's dress zipper, causing him to yell as he frees it and Jal orders him to get out. A passing mother calls out Sid in disgust.
  • Only Sane Man: Deconstructed. Jal takes her Surrounded by Idiots attitude to such an extreme that she comes off as more of a party pooper than level-headed.
  • Papa Wolf: It's strongly implied that Ronny Fazer personally kills Mad Twatter for terrorizing Jal.
