As the gang embarks upon their second year, some things stay the same, but others are very different.

Javier, Vod's holiday romance, has become a permanent fixture in the Hartnell Road dorm. Desperate to shake him off, Vod comes up with a plan. Oregon is furious and old rows lying dormant begin to erupt.

Having made out with someone else at her own wedding, Vod now tries to dump Javier by literally dumping him in a department store in Rochdale.

Having been rejected by Sam for cheating on the quiz, JP makes it his mission to win her back in spite of the fact she clearly thinks he's a posh twit.

There's much excitement in the house when Vod announces that her mom is coming to stay. Josie and Kingsley draw up a relationship amnesty.

The housemates get radical as they participate in a university sit-in which Oregon has organized to demonstrate against the forced deportation of a hot Tunisian guy.

It's Howard's birthday - not that he's told anybody. Word gets out anyway, and the housemates agree to throw him a party at Candice's behest.

Oregon is now going head to head against Vod in the Student Union elections, and the gloves are truly coming off. Josie and Kingsley come to an unusual arrangement to overcome their relationship problems, while Howard realizes it's now or never with Candice.
