Further details
The finals are fast approaching and things are falling apart. Tickets for the alternative grad ball 'Vodstock' are selling very well but Vod may well be promising things she can't deliver. JP, desperate to cram some geology into his brain, hires a 'revision barge', and convinces Howard to join him on board. Kingsley's relationship begins to disintegrate leaving him a physical wreck.
Having been sacked as Union President, Oregon has got some serious cramming to do if she is to qualify for a prestigious scholarship in the US. But when Vod gets on the wrong side of some hired 'security', the housemates end up having to barricade themselves in the cellar. Trapped in a tense atmosphere, it's a night of revelations for the residents of Hartnell Avenue and they are left in disarray.

Bants Overboard!
Even though JP has cracked into his buffer, Howard still won't leave his lovely, lovely brain table.
JP Interrupted
Revision is driving JP to distraction... and perverse internet searches.

Only one day to go before the housemates' final exams, Josie announces through a rolled-up magazine while everyone else is trying to stress-masturbate. Only Howard and Oregon are revising, though, and even they're not ready for the enormity of moving to London to do a boring job. Time for a group heart-to-heart, which Vod helpfully organises by causing the gang to become locked in their own basement. It's the penultimate episode, but they're all still trapped, in more ways than one.
