It’s the morning after the night before for the festival goers and the sheen has worn off. Hannah has some regrets about taking the pill, and sleeping with Jamie, has she made a terrible mistake? Rhys is still in awe of sexy Imogen but doesn't know that she took money from his wallet which she then gave to Kev in exchange for crack. Blue is less than impressed as his jealousy of Rhys blossoms. Hannah speaks to Imogen about her concerns, but Imogen teases her about being uptight about sex and encourages her to live a little. Her worries dissipate when Jamie reveals a romantic side and asks her to stay with him. She follows Imogen's advice and drags Jamie off to have sex in the ice cream van. Rhys is reluctantly dragged out for a boys night of drinking with Blue, unaware that Kev has plans for Imogen back at the house. Surrounded by candles, Hannah is blissfully happy as she and Jamie sleep off the drugs in a bedroom he's turned into a haven of calm for her. She snaps out of her reverie, however, when she walks in on a near comatose Imogen with a punter standing over her, about to have sex for money. Hannah is horrified and tries to rouse Imogen, but Kev gets there first, belting Hannah. Woken by the ruckus, Jamie enters the fray and urges Hannah to run as he holds off Kev. Still in shock, Hannah is initially reluctant to let Jamie into the ice cream van where she has taken refuge, but eventually she relents and the two of them flee in the van as a furious Kev chases after them. In a heartbeat, Jamie and Hannah's ecstasy has turned to horror and it is hard to believe Kev is going to let them go without a fight. Will Jamie and Hannah be forced to embark on a life on the run?
