**Sorry** is the seventh episode of the second season of Netflix's *Heartstopper*, and the fifteenth episode of the series overall. It is also the penultimate episode of the episode as well.

## Synopsis

*Elle keeps big news from Tao, Ben pressures Charlie to forgive him, and Isaac opens up to James. Nick invites Charlie to a tense family dinner.*

## Plot

With everyone back home, Nick looks at a photo of their trip to Paris and notices again how Charlie never really eats his food, making him feel worried again. Charlie gets a DM from Ben, who wants to talk about Nick’s new photo of them together.

Elsewhere, Elle finds out she got into Lambart Academy. Tao then tells her mother about Elle, who is super excited about it.

Nick asks his mother if he can invite Charlie’s family for dinner when his dad visits next week, and his mother agrees. Charlie gets a few other messages from Ben, but he tries to avoid them.

The Paris squad, which is now officially a group chat on Instagram, talks about visiting Elle’s art exhibition. Tao worries about Elle going away but tries to be supportive of it.

While they are out shopping for prom things, Issac, who is the only one in the group without a partner, cuts off, saying that he is going to go meet James.

Ben keeps bothering Charlie through incessant DMs, which he hides it from Nick, in spite of promising to keep nothing from each other. Nick then asks him out to be his date at prom, Charlie is really happy to hear it and accepts.

Darcy meanwhile gets into one of the suits at the store and looks amazing in it. The group subsequently pitch in to get her the suit when she says she hasn’t got enough money to get it.

Issac goes to meet James at the bookstore he works in and confesses that he is unable to understand how he should feel if and when he likes someone. Issac then lashes out at the group for sort of cornering and forcing him to have a romantic entanglement.

At the exhibition Issac slowly comes to the realization that he is, in fact, asexual and aromantic. He gets to understand this when one of the pieces at the art exhibit and the one who made it talks about his experience as an aromantic.

They finally reveal Elle’s artwork, titled ‘Safe Place,’ a painting of the four mates who she signifies as her home in spite of the dark things that happened to her through the years.

After the exhibition, Ben approaches Charlie to tell him that he has been bothering him now and again because he is leaving Truham High for the sixth form, and he wants to ask for forgiveness. He tells him that he had a messed up house where his parents did not accept him, and that invertedly came out on Charlie.

Charlie, however, stands up for himself yet again. He makes Ben aware of the fact that he basically kissed him without his consent and then sort of rewired his being by constantly controlling the way their relationship would go. He tells him that his behavior has forever altered his existence because he now always had a voice in his head that tells him that he does not deserve good things because that is what Ben’s toxic behavior towards him made him feel. Thus, he does not forgive him and leaves.

At the dinner table, Nick comes out to his dad and also stands up to him by saying that he hasn’t been a good parent to him. After the dinner, when everyone, along with Stéphane, leaves, Sarah also notices that Charlie doesn’t eat enough. A worried Nick googles about eating disorders.

As it turns out, Darcy’s reasons for not being too open about things has to do with her home life. She fights with her unsupportive mother, who tries to control what she does. Darcy gets angry and runs away from her home in the middle of the night.
