Warning: Spoilers
The group are on a plane to go to Russia for a school trip. The guys are excited to meet Russian girls.

When they arrive they are to stay at a place that looks more like a prison. The male teacher who is the leader tells them to pair up with someone to share a room with. The group excitedly buzzes about sharing and sexual tension arises. Teacher says you can only pair up with the same sex and we hear groans.

Anwar looks out the window to see Russian girls in their "bra and pants". He calls out to the other students he saw a girl with boobs who has a big chopper.

Michelle and the clarinet girl go to a bar and take off their coverings to reveal low-cut dresses. They attract the attention of officers and Michelle pulls down the clarinet girl's dress further down. She tells her to show off the cleavage more.

Tony plays with Maxxie trying to get him to have gay sex with him. Tony takes off his top.

The teachers - male and Angie share a room together. The male teacher obviously is trying to attract Angie who is rather disgusted. She wears a thin nightdress.

The next morning the Russian translator says girls wash up first and second are the guys. We see students in their bathrobes and towels walking along the stairwell. The guys are shown being hosed down naked or in their towels by the Russian lady without soap.

Anwar sees the Russian girl being abused by an older man and decides to go rescue her with Sid. He brings her back to his room and he tells her what he wants to do with her including he wants to come on her breasts. She says it sounds fun and she learned English from the best American show. They have sex three times as they used three condoms.

Anwar and the Russian girl are caught in bed together by Tony. Anwar says he lost his virginity that night.

The British are told to leave the next day. We see the Russians drinking and celebrating the money they have taken from those dumb British.

More like a Carry on film than Skins.

The Maxie, Anwar episode is pretty terrible I think everyone agrees. The best bit about it is that it takes the Angie/Chris storyline one step further. Generally though it's the most slapstick of the bunch. It's all about Anwar meeting a girl, who's actually a con artist or something and that fact he's suddenly noticed his best mate is gay or something. Michelle goes back to being an immature diva again, her main concern being her hair. Tony and the gang just want to take drugs and there's not much more to say. It possibly misses the presence of Cassie who's absence is pretty sorely felt. There's a nice moment where Sid sees a drawn picture of Cassie, commenting on it's beauty he's reminded that she is beautiful. There's too many WTF moments though, Anwar has packed a rope ladder in his suit case, it just makes no sense, like all logic just went out the window. The dialogue from Michelle is pretty bad too. "I've never left a bar without being chatted up in my life."
