Sugar Rush

In English coast town Brighton, shy teenager Kim strikes a weird friendship with man-eater Sugar Sweets, whom she has a crush on. Meawnhile shes looking for a boy to make sure if shes no imaginary gay, yet nice, horny neighbor boy Tom, who has two gay dads, isnt to her taste. The men recommended hot handyman Dale to her dad Nathan, but she dares not tell him she saw Dale naked for obvious purposes with her step-ma Stella.

Even by Brighton teenager standards, Kims Sugar-obsession is pathetically desperate. Alien Matt has withdrawn into his completely blue ET bedroom. Dale still studly satisfies Stella, only now in motels during lunch break. Stella fears the pills she saw Kim steal are for an OD, but she lies her way out. Sugar seems tempted, but its Matt who finds and swallows the pills as space-food, luckily found by dad just in time.

Now Nathan knows hes cuckolded, adulteress Stella is thrown out and moves in with Dale. Matt now hides behind two sock-puppets. Nathan cant cope alone, emotionally nor domestically. Sugar recruits Kim as interpreter for her new lover, French language student Guillaume, but she jealously sabotages the affair by false translation.

Kim has stayed in her bedroom for a week after the events that occurred in Episode 6. Sugar has been calling her frequently, but Kim hasnt been answering the calls. Nathan comes into Kims room, which is a mess, and he is under the impression that she isnt feeling well. Kim gets out of bed, and goes out to speak to Sugar. Despite the fact that Sugar now knows that Kim is gay and that she fancies her, shes acting as though none of this has come out, which this worries Kim. Sugar asks what lesbians do [sexually], but Kim doesnt actually know. Sugar asks how she knows shes gay if shes never had sex with a man, but Kim requests that they change the subject. Sugar tells Kim that shes done with men, and its time she found other ways to enjoy herself. Later, when Sugar and Kim are sitting in deck chairs next to each other, Sugar puts out her hand, inviting Kim to hold it, and she does so.

Now Kim has broken up with Sugar, she heartlessly breaks Toms heart by dumping him rudely. Luckily gay co-dad Dave manages to convince the sensitive boy theres no shortage of straight girls and having had a Lesbian is ideal bragging material among mates. Nathan makes up his mind, arrogant Stellas abusive attempts to make him sweat for the sex accident isnt acceptable. Meanwhile Kim has an affair with Beth, whom she met in the church group, but drops her when Sugar calls for help.

Eighteen months later, life is largely back to normal at Kims Brighton home. Even Stella has returned and seems monogamous with Nathan, the parental couple in sex therapy. Sugar however is in jail. Kim meets and ultimately dates sex shop clerk Saint in a nightclub. There ten years older Anna, who believed Kim of professional age, invites her to a private party and lets her stay for breakfast.

After having sex with Saint Kim goes to visit Sugar,who is expecting early release after granted a staff member favours. She asks to come and stay with Kim as she is homeless and Kim agrees. Returning to Saints flat Kim is shocked to see a half-naked man whom Saint explains is Mark,an old flame,but they were never serious. Noticing that Saint and Mark have identical tattoos Kim is uncertain as to whether to believe her. However the girls talk things over and get close again. Only then does Kim realise she was meant to collect Sugar from prison.

Kim is head over heels with her new girlfriend Saint, but when Saint goes away on a business trip Kim is worried and jealous. She passes her time by going to a drag king night at her favourite club, and meets the sexy and overpowering Montana, whose band is performing in the club that night. The key words and phrases for the rest of the story are kissing, girlfriend walking in, girlfriend walking out, drug overdose, hospital, misunderstanding.

Kim spends a night in the cells after going for Saints casual sex partner though ultimately the pair are reunited. Sugar is being pursued by Dmitri, an ex-boyfriend to whom she apparently owes money and, having failed to get it from her face to face, he steals it from the till at the sex shop where Sugar is now working. However Sugar and Saint team up to offer him a threesome for which he is blindfolded. They then, along with Kim, take the shoe-box containing the money from where he had hidden it under the bed and leave him unaware that he is being pleasured by his dog.

Kim wakes up in Matts coffin since Sugar and Mark are in her bed. She gets annoyed when Sugar goes on at length about her relationship with Mark and is even more upset when she learns that Stella confided in Sugar, and not her own daughter, that she is pregnant again. She has sex with Saint, who is herself not in the best of spirits as it is the anniversary of her mothers death. Mark takes Sugar to meet his parents, who like her - until she reveals that she has been in prison.
