Further details

Driving home from an impromptu party in Chloe's bedroom, DK gets pulled over by a policeman. He tries to avoid being done for drink-driving by swallowing a load of copper coins. When bits of his body start going green, DK is delighted. At last he's got something truly special to show the girls.

Chloe finally agrees she will go out with Matt, but only if he starts eating a healthy diet. As Matt hates vegetables, Chloe comes up with a foolproof test to make sure that Matt is eating his greens by examining his poo. Now Matt must eat some vegetables or find an ingenious method of passing Chloe's exam.

When Jas gets the chance to fulfil her dreams of going to London to star in the Rocky Horror Show, Ollie is really worried. How will they survive without each other and without all the sex? Jas finds a surprising way to make certain that Ollie won't miss her.
