"Everyone" is the ninth and final episode of the first series of the Britishteen dramaSkins. It was written by Bryan Elsley and directed by Adam Smith.[1] It first aired on E4 in the UK on 22 March 2007.[2] Unlike the season's other episodes, it does not focus particularly on one character but on the group as a whole, a first for the show.
It's Anwar's 17th birthday. He receives a call from his best friend Maxxie, who wishes him a happy birthday. Anwar invites Maxxie to his party, and Maxxie says he will only go if Anwar tells his very strict Muslim parents that Maxxie is gay. In the meantime, Tony watches his sister Effy head off to her new independent school following her overdose in the previous episode. Chris also discovers his girlfriend and psychology teacher Angie has a fiancé, an Australianweatherman named Merve, who has returned to Bristol.
Sid attempts to write a love letter to Cassie, but gives up and decides instead to go see her at the hospital, leaving the love letter on his desk. He finds himself detained against his will into a padded cell. Cassie, meanwhile, writes Sid a letter saying she is moving to Elgin that night and leaves the hospital with her bulimic friend.
Michelle meets Effy and asks her why she does not speak and why Tony hurt her. Later that day, Chris breaks into Angie's house and is horrified to find countless photos of her and Merve, and an engagement ring. He pockets the ring, and watches a video of Merve doing the Australian weather forecast, assuming from Merve's camp mannerisms that he is gay. Angie and Merve show up and Chris apologises for breaking into her house, but taunts Merve about his supposed hidden sexuality.
Anwar's uncle is DJing for the birthday party; unimpressed with the tacky disco music, Anwar complains. His father initially tells him his uncle should DJ because he has a proper ear for music; however, once out of earshot of Anwar's mother, he confesses that Anwar's uncle is an "arsehole" and notes grimly that while he cannot grope women while DJing. Anwar is then seduced by one of his sister's friends. He begins kissing her, but leaves to gossip to Maxxie, who is waiting outside. While Anwar is begging Maxxie to come inside, his father comes outside and the two boys reveal that Maxxie is gay. Anwar's father states that he will not discriminate against homosexuality, as he has faith that God will one day enlighten him and make him understand, and invites Maxxie inside.
Tony and Effy rescue Sid from the hospital and take him to find Cassie, assuming she will be at Anwar's birthday party, and Effy calls Tony a "wanker" for hurting Michelle. Sid arrives at the party at roughly the same time as Merve, who demands his ring back off Chris. Chris gives the ring to Angie, who gives it back to Merve, turning down his proposal, but also breaking up with Chris. A fight breaks out in the club between Chris' friends and Merve and his henchmen.
Tony finds Cassie outside and gives her Sid's love letter. He then tries to call Michelle, who is crying in the bathroom. Struggling to find a good connection, Tony walks out onto the road and is hit by a bus, directly in front of Effy. Before being hit, he is able to leave a voicemail on Michelle's phone, proclaiming his love for her. The cast break out into a rendition of Cat Steves' "Widl World", led by Sid, who leaves the club to find Cassie and meets her by her favourite spot in the city, where she tried to commit suicide.
