Review: Skins - Emily

The episode looks more into what role Naomi played into Sophia death. Following her revelation to Thomas, she tells Emily about selling the deceased girl drugs.

The episode actually centres around Emily; her investigation into Sophia and her own family. Emily visits the girl's home and slowly unravels the truth.

Emily's mother doesn't accept that she's gay; she tries to bribe her into going away with Noami and doesn't invite Naomi to dinner; Katie's new boyfriend was invited.

Emily doubts Naomi and can't seem to let her jealously go throughout the episode. By the end, we find out why Naomi didn't want Emily investigating Sophie's death and the revelation changes everything.

I was surprised that they steered the episode the way they did. The outcome was a bit predictable. The scene with Emily and her dad was played out well. It was good for her to have a conversation with a parent where it wasn't about her sexuality, just about how she was feeing. There's more than one layer to their conversation, following his confession about being bankrupt and his infidelity when he was younger.

It was also good to see Emily and Katie have more individual identities visually, especially with it being just an Emily episode, as opposed to having a combined episode for the twins like last season.

Fans of the popular couple won't be happy by the outcome but the last scene does give a little hope into their fate.

The next episode will be centred around Cook and the consequence of his fight, after seeing Effy and Freddie together.
