Will is humiliated and he and his friends make up and agree to spy on Neil during his date with Susie.
In a sub-plot, Jay gets teased by the rest of the boys for having a friend outside of the group and even a special goodbye gesture of two thumbs up, leading to him finding this friend's car and jumping repeatedly on the bonnet, screaming that he's not his friend, whilst Neil and Simon look on in shock.

Plot

Just as they are about to leave, they hear a rumour that the beautiful and popular Charlotte "Big Jugs" Hinchcliffe will soon arrive. The gang are thrilled, as Charlotte is known for her promiscuous ways. Upon her arrival, Will unintentionally opens a bottle of champagne Charlotte had brought along, but she kindly invites him to share it with her. They chat and seem to get along very well. Simon, Neil and Jay are both awed and outraged that Will managed to speak to her. Jay attempts to lure Charlotte away but his appalling impression of The Crazy Frog only serves to annoy her. Will and Charlotte move upstairs and begin kissing in a bedroom, but the experience is short-lived as Charlotte's ex-boyfriend (and Will's biggest antagonist), Mark Donovan, interrupts and fails to win Charlotte back. Mark leaves, but warns Will to treat Charlotte with respect. as she is 'kind and gentle and fragile' before threatening to kill Will if he tells anyone of the conversation.The next day Will lies and brags to Charlotte about how many girls he has had sex with, and she suggests they meet up again for more than just a kiss.
