We're all aware of the structure of Skins episodes. The two-parter of each generation. Where the first season was filled with wild parties and casual sex, the second season that follows was all about consequences. The loss of party animal Chris, within the first generation (Season 2) and Freddie being brutally murdered in the second generation (Season 4). So it was only natural that this very last season of Skins followed that same structure.
In the first part of Skins Fire we got a glimpse of Effy Stonem's new life and how she manages to work her way up in the business world. We know that this episode will be the consiquence episode for Effy's actions last week by committing financial fraud. We open up several months later with Effy working living the high life while sleeping with her boss Jake on a regular basis, she's definitely got it so "fucking together".
Meanwhile, Naomi's health isn't looking that great, but "Naomly" fans would be happy to hear that Emily makes an appearance. Although Naomi decides to keep her cancer a secret during her visit. Right until the point where the doctors tell her that her condition is terminal.
Now this was the point I suspected the internet to explode...It did. Although I think the fate of these characters are just plain cruel on the writers part, I can't help but think it fits in well with the Skins theme. The ending for Effy's character however I thought was not what I would have expected.
