[edit] Synopsis
After giving boyfriend Tony Stonem time to confess his infidelity with gay friend Maxxie, Michelle decides she's had enough, punching him in the face and kicking him in the testicles in front of the group as well as ending their relationship. At home, things aren't looking much better, as her mother's new husband Malcolm manages to infuriate her at every turn. After attempting to seduce Sid Jenkins, Tony's best friend who has been deeply in love with her since the beginning of the series, Michelle takes an interest in Josh, the brother of another of Tony's conquests, Abigail, and finds her interest reciprocated, much to Tony's aggrievance. Tony steals Josh's phone, and uses it to take semi-pornographic photos of Josh's sister, Abigail. He sends these photos to Michelle, who assumes they are from Josh and promptly dumps him. Michelle's mother and Malcolm split up, but after locating Malcolm in a bar, Michelle gives him one more chance with her mother. Soon after, Tony finds Michelle and begs her to take him back. Michelle just leaves. Meanwhile, Michelle's psychology teacher Angie conducts an illicit relationship with one of Michelle's friends, Chris. Sid realises after rejecting Michelle that Cassie is really more important to him, only to find that she is already involved with someone else.
