## Plot

Throughout summer break Moordale couples are spending their break having sex (except for Aimee and Steve who are taking things slowly). With a new term, Moordale Secondary School welcomes Hope Haddon as its new head teacher, who promises to get the school back on track. Adam is welcomed back to school and decides to have a fresh start and not be the bully anymore. Otis tries to keep casual sex with Ruby a secret, and discovers a "Sex King" is giving out fraudulent sex advice in the abandoned toilets. It is revealed to be Kyle who claims that he was filling a void Otis left open, but Otis tells Kyle that the advice he is giving out if from porn not professional. Jean promotes a book about her experiences teaching sex education at Moordale, and struggles to tell Jakob about her pregnancy. Eric and Adam go public with their relationship, though Adam has problems with people making fun of his sexuality.

Mr Groff, living with his rich, shallow brother, tries in vain to get a teaching job but due to what happened at Moordale Secondary no school will hire him.
