Skins: Series Finale

« prev episode next » episode

In the series finale, it's Anwar's 17th birthday and his mother throws him a party, which would be okay if it wasn't for his disapproving father, embarrassing uncle and mocking sisters. However, the real trouble arrives when Anwar is finally forced to confront the division between his family's religion and his best friend Maxxie's sexuality. Meanwhile, Sid has finally sorted out his priorities and goes in search of Cassie. What he doesn't know though, is that Cassie is leaving that very same day for Scotland, and has resigned herself to saying goodbye. Will the two manage to find each other in time, or is this the end to their unstarted relationship? Add a recap »

There is an inconsistency in the fact that Maxxie will not go to Anwar's birthday unless Anwar tells his family Maxxie is gay In the episode "Maxxie and Anwar", it is Anwar who rejects Maxxie as a friend because of his religion; he never mentions his family. edit »
Goof: When Cassie goes round to Sid's house, the voice of the person who invites her in is clearly female and therefore most likely to be Sid's mother. However, in the episode "Sid", his mother left home and has not since returned, suggesting that either the character has returned off screen or that the writers have made a mistake. edit »
As Cassie and her friend get into the taxi, a man's face can be seen reflected in the car's window. edit »

Sid: Ton, this is my dad's car.
Tony: Yep. I went around to get your clothes, your dad was watching the football... I thought we could get along much faster if I nicked it. edit »
Sid: Cassie, I don't care if you think you're odd, because I feel like singing when I see you and you're beautiful and I've been such a chapstick these past few weeks. edit »
Maxxie: I�m gay Mr. Kharrel. I always have been.
Mr. Kharrel: It�s a fucking stupid messed up world. I�ve got my God. He speaks to me everyday. Somethings I just can�t work out so I leave them be, okay? Even if I think they�re wrong, because I know someday he�ll make me understand. I�ve got that trust. It�s called belief. I�m a lucky man. edit »
Mr. Kharrel: (on his brother-in-law, the DJ) Muneer�s an arsehole, a complete tosser. At least he can�t grope the women up there. edit »
Sid: Tony you're my best friend, but I really don't know what the fuck you're on about most of the time... do you think that matters?
Tony: Sidney, I think on balance... it helps. edit »

The Bottom Line: "Series classic"
A hugely entertaining episode to end this fantastic first series of Skins. A strong yet little cheesy ending with an excellent cliffhanger to boot. All in all a brilliant episode. ...Continue »
