Storylines

The cast arrive back in the Geordie Shore house in Newcastle as Charlotte reveals she's got a boyfriend. They're all immediately joined by Scott and Dan. Scott quickly bonds with Gaz and claims that they'll be the 'dream team' when they go out and pull, but Dan on the other hand causes a stir when he gets too drunk and 'tries it on' with Charlotte. An overprotective Gaz steps in and starts an argument with Dan, but then picks up the pieces when Dan has too much to drink and vomits everywhere. The following morning Anna reveals that the new job for the group is massaging, and James and Sophie are horrified at their first job massaging an old couple. Dan apologises to the group for the events from the night before, and Holly and Scott's flirting leads them to have sex in the toilet. Not remembering much from the night before, Holly finds it awkward discussing what happened with Scott to James and reveals she may still have feelings for him. Charlotte phones her boyfriend but tells him she doesn't miss him yet, causing her to feel guilty. Vicky asks the girls to be bridesmaids at her wedding and they all accept, but the celebrations don't last long when Charlotte attempts to stop Gaz from pulling. It backfires however and he ends up in a foursome with Scott and two other girls. The next morning the girls wake up with the news that they're planning an engagement party for Vicky and Ricci. While everyone invites all of their friends to the party, the girls get pampered to make sure they all look their best but Charlotte is clearly anxious at how her boyfriend will react to meeting the group. With the party in full swing, Charlotte begins to panic trying to keep her boyfriend Scott apart from Gaz. Sophie's ex Yabba turns up and they immediately flirt with each other, and Vicky sets Holly up with a boy that she doesn't have much in common with. The party soon turns to chaos however as Charlotte's boyfriend loses control after getting too drunk and wrecks the house. He's thrown out and an upset Charlotte confides in Vicky but overhears Ricci bitching about her. With the girls comforting Charlotte, she mentions Ricci's bitching. Vicky quickly jumps to conclusions and shouts at Charlotte leaving Sophie no choice but to defend her friend but things soon get violent between the two of them. Ricci is quick to get involved and calls Sophie fat leaving her horrified. The following morning Anna throws them out because of their behaviour.

After a couple of days thinking about the arguments, Vicky returns to the house alone. To brighten the atmosphere, the remaining girls decide to go and get some fish, Scramble and Egg. Vicky's mood is down again though by the night time as she stays in while the others go out to Middlesbrough. Back in Newcastle though, James announces that he has a girlfriend but doesn't have the heart to tell Holly yet. Dan grows increasingly angry with Scott as he keeps stealing girls off him in clubs and the girls are annoyed by Gaz and Scott's desperate need to pull others. Charlotte gets too drunk and ends up climbing into Gaz's bed but he gets straight back out knowing that both of them would regret it in the morning. Charlotte wakes up feeling guilty as the group plan a road trip to Liverpool. In Liverpool, James reveals the truth about his girlfriend leaving Holly distraught, and Dan loses his temper with Scott. When the group return to Newcastle they're joined by Sophie and Ricci and there's awkwardness as Vicky refuses to accept Sophie's apology. Holly goes on her first date with Dan from the house party and it goes a success whilst Sophie thinks of different ways of getting Vicky to forgive her. With tension building between them both, there's still no sign of an apology. Holly automatically feels jealous when James goes all out to impress his new girlfriend Kate on a date. Charlotte feels uneasy at the thought of meeting her boyfriend to tell him what happened with Gaz but knows it has to be done, but before she has a chance to fully explain herself, he ends the relationship and walks out. Vicky's distraught when Anna asks her to work with Sophie and the pair refuse to speak to each other for the whole shift. Anna then asks Charlotte and Gaz to go to work in a burger van. Knowing that Charlotte wouldn't be looking her best when she joins them on a night out after work, the group decide to go out dressed as tramps to make her feel better. However Holly's not happy when she sees her date and has to explain why she doesn't look her best. When the girls go wedding dress shopping, Sophie sits alone in the house feeling left out and attempts to apologise to Vicky again when she returns home. This doesn't go successful, but Vicky realises that Sophie deserves a second chance and gives her time to fully explain her reasons for doing what she did. With everyone going out to celebrate Sophie and Vicky being friends again, James introduces Kate to the group causing a depressed Holly to turn to the alcohol.

The next day Holly decides to meet up with her date, Dan again but seems distant with him. She isn't impress as he showers her with compliments and gives the impression that he's too keen. On a day out, Sophie decides to play match-maker and tries to set Dan up with random girls but it all goes terribly wrong and Dan's left angry at the situation. Charlotte's emotions get in the way again as she goes all out to stop Gaz from bringing a girl back to the house. With a few drinks inside of him, Ricci goes on a rampage and accuses Vicky of flirting with a bouncer. Vicky's left shocked at the accusations and after a heated argument, she decides she's had enough of Ricci and leaves the house to get some space. She returns in the morning to confront Ricci about the allegations which causes another argument between the pair. Ricci asks for the engagement ring back before packing his bags and leaving the house to return home. Joel arrives to see Sophie and she's delighted, but the group still don't trust him. All of Charlotte's recent emotions cause her to destroy the house in anger. Charlotte receives her punishment the next day as an angry Anna makes her clean the whole house, whilst the boys plan a surprise trip to Dublin for James' birthday. Vicky goes to meet Ricci and gets emotional after they continue to disagree with each other about who's to blame for their recent arguments. Arriving in Dublin, James is delighted to see Kate but Vicky quickly gets jealous of all the affection and wishes Ricci was there. Holly strikes an unexpected friendship with Kate leaving James worried as to what they might be discussing. As Kate returns home, James admits he's considered leaving Geordie Shore as saying goodbye to her is too hard for him. Back in Newcastle, the girls visit a sex shop much to Vicky's disgrace. Ricci returns but announces he's leaving the house for good to save his relationship with Vicky.

Vicky's emotions spiral out of control when she realises just how much she's missing Ricci. Gaz puts doubts in Sophie's mind about Joel and she's no choice but to follow him to a club where he's DJing to see how he copes around other girls. The group decide to go for a night camping which causes a connection between Holly and Scott to grow and everyone notices them flirting. Anna arranges for the boys to get auctioned for charity. Dan is bought by a cougar whereas Holly's quick to buy Scott, but then Charlotte's involved in a bidding war for Gaz and loses.

Vicky decides it's time to go home and work things out between her and Ricci so packs her bags and says her goodbyes.

On the last day, Anna decides to treat the group to a boat party but it's awkward as Holly finally confesses her love for James.
