It's Freshers' Week in the village and Harry, Zack and Cleo are enjoying student life already. Holly is charmed when she first meets Nick Savage and introduces him to the rest of the teens.
At the same time, Freddie and Ellie are pining for each other, but Ellie decides a night out at The Loft's 'traffic light party' with Lisa will help her get over him. However, Freddie turns up to help behind the bar, leaving Ellie floored.
Holly fancies Nick, but Tegan swoops in to talk to him first. Freddie's jealousy then peaks when he sees Ellie dancing with another guy. He grabs her wrist and tells her to go home and she slaps him, but Nick breaks up the fight.
Ellie moves in between Tegan and Nick to give him a 'thank you' kiss. They're still kissing when the lights come on at The Loft. Lisa directs everyone to the after-party at the Love Boat, but Ellie takes Nick back to the pub instead and leads him to her room.
Ellie then starts to feel really drunk and lies back on the bed, but Nick continues to kiss her. The next morning, Ellie wakes up with Nick by her side. She can't remember anything and the panic rises when she sees her underpants on the floor and realises they had sex.
Ellie is desperate to get Nick out of her room and is worried that she can't remember consenting to sex. However, an oblivious Nick has had the night of his life.
Tegan still really irritates me. I hope this episode is good. They've got quite a large number of Freshers this year. We haven't had so many for a few years I hope they work out.

Yeah, Hollyoaks started as a more light hearted, student type thing. I used to watch it as a student, then it sort of lost it's way a bit imo.
