Extremely well directed episode, with on the edge of your seat drama. An extremely good representation of teenage life and depression in modern britain. The first time i watched As If was this episode, and I had no idea of what the program was about, so i truely had no idea on whether Sooz was going to live or die, what an adrenaline rush.
I really wish they would release the As If Collection on DVD, just so i could have this episode.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Sooz locks herself out of her house and the only one she can go for help is Nicki. Dressed in her cheerful clothes, Sooz meets Jamie at the caf, and Sasha makes fun of her. Jamie realises how down and depressed Sooz is and tries to be her friend. Tired of being ridiculed by Sasha, Sooz says out loud she and Rob kissed. Sasha breaks up with Rob, and Sooz sees an opportunity for the two finally be together. But Rob loves Sasha too much and asks Sooz to tell her that their kiss only showed him how much he loves his girlfriend. Extremely hurt, Sooz looks for a friendly shoulder in Al, who's busy with Dan, and Jamie, who makes fun of her poems. She storms out of Jamie's, and he worries she may do something stupid. At the tube train station, Sooz stands on the edge of the platform, prepared to jump but at the last minute, steps back. Jamie finds her and is releaved to find that she is OK.moreless

When Sooz is sitting on the stairs you can see shes wearing slippers but when she gets locked out, shes got bare feet.

Out of all the places Sooz could have run off to, why does Jamie automatically guess correctly that Sooz is at the train station, preparing to jump in front of a train?
