The team is given a presentation on the rules of sexual conduct and consent.

Afterwards Mattie, Benji and Jack head out for the afternoon determined to keep out of trouble. But a chance supermarket meeting with a lady who wants them to meet her son, Stuart, leads to an unfortunate misunderstanding.
