Rae is desperate to be treated like an adult so she's staying out late and pushing the boundaries at home. But when she starts to hang out with a group of older lads that Chloe has befriended, things turn nasty and Rae wonders whether adulthood is really all it's cracked up to be. Meanwhile, things are moving on with Liam; can they really just stay friends?
