Tony is recovering from the massive head injury he sustained at the end of series one. Sid and Michelle are nowhere to be seen, caring for an invalid friend has just been too much for them. So Maxxie is looking after Tony for the day. But Maxxie has his own problems. He desperately wants to leave college and follow his dream to become a dancer, but his Dad Walter is giving him hell about it. Tony wants to go back to college, but his parents won’t agree to that either.

Their world has been rocked to its foundations and they just don’t know what to do with their son. So Maxxie wants out and Tony wants in and they’re going to have to help each other. That’s if the gay hating, ASBO boys on Maxxie’s estate don’t get them first. And all the while Maxxie has a strange feeling that someone else nearby is on his case too.

This is possibly my favorite episode of both seasons

I'm not surprised by that. This episode made me really love the idea of a Tony/Maxxie friendship.

I just loved seeing Tony so vulnerable and weak, for a change.

It really was so different for the character, which was nice to see.

And even though he was an ass in the first season, I felt so bad for him.

say something · 12-31-2008, 09:01 PM

I did too, especially because, at least this point, he was a completely different person.

Another thing I loved about this episode was Maxxie's dad, he was the coolest.

Maxxie definitely had the best dad ever.

I feel like I've been saying that about alot of episodes, but that's a good thing I guess as I'm loving the show. This episode was no exception.

Maxxie's dad was awesome, I agree.

Definitely interesting to see Tony in this shape as it was completely different from the person he used to be. And just seeing how it affected everyone else.

And of course the Tony/Maxxie scenes were great.

Definitely a good sign

This episode is pure love.

Tony & Maxxie! I totally slash them, but I love Michelle/Tony more. I just love how THERE for Tony Maxxie was. Out of EVERYONE, he was there for him the most.

Tony made me want to cry so many times. *sniffles*

EFFY! I love how she took him to the party.

Michelle and Sid talk and it's so hard for them to see Tony like this. *cries*

"I will remember everything."

I KNOW YOU WILL, TONY! AND THEN YOU'LL GET YOUR GIRL BACK!
