Skins is a British teen drama created by father-and-son television writers Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain for Company Pictures.

Like the previous series, it follows the lives of the third generation of characters, which consists of Franky Fitzgerald, Rich Hardbeck, Grace Blood, Mini McGuinness, Liv Malone, Alo Creevey, brothers Nick and Matty Levan, and new character Alex Henley.

Alo tries to keep him out of trouble with a band practice, but Rich is committed to his love and he stands outside the hospital waiting for Grace's call.

Eventually the call comes and Rich finds a way past security and breaks into Grace's room.

The lovers are reunited, but they have a problem as Blood is moving Grace to another hospital in Switzerland.

Liv, Mini, and Franky attend Grace's memorial and smash things and scream at students.

[6] Franky is in a bad place - it's the week of her mock exams and she's unable to concentrate on her studies.

[7] Mini hates her mum's pervy new live-in boyfriend, and to make matters worse, Alo has broken the rules of their 'no strings attached' secret relationship and declared his love for her.

He has no choice but to accept Franky as his friend and nothing more, while his love for her grows with each passing day.

Torn between his love for Franky, his loyalty to Matty and his fear of confrontation, Nick's life begins to spin wildly out of control until he has no choice but to step up and discover what he's truly capable of.

Fed up of trying to get back to the fun times they used to have, he attempts to get over Mini by hooking up with a new girl, Poppy Champion.

Franky's attempts to make him see sense fall on deaf ears, but Alo's childish choices come back to haunt him and he's soon out of his depth.

In a lot of trouble and with nobody to turn to, the boy who stubbornly refused to grow up may have finally run out of time...[12] It's the end of an era.

The group is still in pieces following Grace's death... and time is running out for them to make things right.
