For a show that's pacing is entirely dependent on the character it focuses on for the episode, for the first time, it doesn't matter whether you like the titular character or not. Effy is a brilliant episode that finally elaborates on the self-destructive behavior of Effy Stonem, while simultaneously introducing the scariest villain you never expect to see from a teenage drama show. The ending left me speechless and utterly shocked. Even though, up until this point, Skins never failed to amaze me with it's unexpected dark turns and undertone, this feels like a new milestone in itself. 10/10, an impressive episode of a casual binge party.
