Episode: 6
Original Airing: March 3, 2011
Yes I know I didn't cover episode five of this season but I really just wasn't in the mood to blog that day. So maybe I'll fit it in later, or not. I got all of screen caps. So yeah! For some reason I didn't like this episode too much. It just fell a little flat compared to the other Skins episodes. Definitely not my favorite.
It's Alo's birthday, but his parents don't care. Instead of letting him hang with his friends in town they make him work on the farm. Alo's dad and farmhand try to teach him how to drive a tractor but things don't go as planned and Alo's dad lets him run off to be with his friends. His domineering mother finds out and plans to withdraw him from college. She succeeds and Alo must work at the farm. Instead of doing his tasks he hides in Bessy's, the cow, stable. While smoking he accidentally drops his light onto a tank of propane, blowing Bessy and most of the stable up. His mother and father take everything of Alo's to be sold, including his beloved dog and van. Angry and pass the point of no return, Alo fills condoms with his family's entire flour and egg produce and invites the gang over for a flour and egg fight. After the fight the gang calls most of the college over for a party with the intent of trashing the house. At the party, Mini reveals that she knows that Franky is in love with Maddie. Franky is flirted with by a total stranger who she ends up pushing away. He calls her a dike. Nick confronts the guy as Franky storms off. Liv tries to console her and asks about her sexuality. Liv sees Franky is clearing uncomfortable with the question so she drops the it. Alo's parents arrive to a trashed house and a hundred teens running away from the house after Alo revealed that his father had guns. Alo confronts his father for being a pussy whipped bitch, in layman's terms. Lol. Alo's dad collapses on the ground due to medical problems unknown to Alo till now.
Alo goes to Nick's house and sits next to Mini who comforts him. Alo leaves saying shes "alright". Franky walks upstairs to see Matty and Liv having sex in the bathroom, she leaves in tears. Mattie sees her but doesn't mention it to Liv. Alo walks to Rich's house with the intent of them running away together like they had talked about in earlier years. Rich is excited to say that him and Grace finally did it and that being grown up is the shit. Alo leaves without telling Rich the reason he came. At the hospital, Alo sees his dog. The farmhand divulges that his father had stood up to the mother and stopped her from getting rid of the dog. Alo returns home to his mother and promises to "grow up", and demands for her to be less of an control freak. At the end of the episode Alo and his father have mended their relationship.
