Plot

Will has been tied to a chair in the common room with a bin on his head by Mark Donovan, who orders that he be left in that state. Mr Gilbert walks in and tells Will not to "grass". Will is left there all day.

Jay brags about all the success he has with girls when visiting Caravan Club in Camber Sands with his family, which the other boys continue to challenge, leading Jay to reluctantly invite them down to check it out for themselves. Despite them continuously branding him a liar, Jay promises his friends they will get sex with girls, and even gives Simon the number of a seemingly promiscuous teenage girl, Becky, whom he exchanges a series of flirtatious text messages with. Upon arrival, the experience does not get off to a good start, with the boys seeing no appeal to the caravan park's appearance and having their dinner in the Cartwrights’ van interrupted by Jay’s dad Terry defecating in a loudly in the toilet nearby.

Later that evening, the boys head off to the main building in the complex for a party, though it is revealed to be no more than a family disco hosted inside a large, refurbished garden shed. Whilst Will begins talking to the local adults, he is approached by a promiscuous punk girl who begins kissing him and aggressively demands sex, but Will loses his chance when he decides they should get to know each other more first by playing games, such as sliding across the floor, and so takes his shoes off and begins to do so as the punk girl walks off in disbelief. Supportively goaded by Jay, Simon approaches Becky, who Jay himself claims to have had sex with in the past, as well as her younger sister Susanne. Simon and Becky kiss secretly outside, but when Simon pulls his pants down and puts a condom on, Becky is shocked and reveals she does not want sex, before running inside to tell her parents. Simon angrily confronts Jay and it becomes apparent Jay had lied about his own sexual experiences once again, with Becky's sister Susanne being only thirteen years old. Meanwhile, Will finds his shoes stolen by a group of eight-year-olds, and, following crude advice from Jay's father, takes to getting one of them into a headlock to get them back. The boys then head off - albeit without Neil, whom they cannot find - before Simon can get in trouble for his earlier stunt with Becky.

The following morning, the boys find Neil and he explains that he slept in Simon's car. However, it is only on the dual carriageway on the way home that Neil reveals that he spent the night in the car with the punk girl, who had previously rejected Will. He also says that they both participated in extensive mutual masturbation, prompting a disgusted reaction from his friends who had been commenting on their wet seats. Simon pulls into a and the boys exit the car in the midst of arguing; while Jay and Will argue about whether or not Jay had lied about his success with girls and the nature of the caravan club in general (Jay believes he is excused, as Neil had by chance been somewhat successful with one girl), Simon confronts a confused Neil regarding the state of his car following the sexual acts in which Neil was involved, which Neil believes he is not responsible for as it is Simon's car and thus his own to clean.
