The participants of Men First vote for who will be spiked next. Eric says the next victim will receive a double dose. Peri posts on social media to get people to avoid the Love Boat. Felix tells DeMarcus it's time to go back to school. Mason wants to talk to Eric about Lizzie. Damon doesn't give Liberty the time of day as he stresses about the business going under. Mason shows Eric a photograph; on it can be seen the arm of the spiker. Mason asks for Eric's help in finding out who spiked Lizzie. Eric claims the image is too blurry and then tells Mason he trashed the school because Sally humiliated him.
Lizzie returns home and, refusing to hide, tells Maxine and Serena they're going back to the Love Boat. She puts a post on social media and Eric sees it. Mason opens the Men First group chat and sees all the messages, becoming aware that Serena's won the poll and is next to be spiked. DeMarcus is pressed when he hears Mason's notifications going off and takes his phone from him. Sally tries confiscating the phone but Mason snatches it back and rushes to find Serena. Liberty asks Damon if he's gambling again and they end up bickering. Liberty's hurt by Damon's words. Sally wants to arrange counselling for DeMarcus. Lizzie panics on the way to the Love Boat and heads back home with Serena. Maxine and Peri arrive at the Love Boat and are served drinks by Eric.
Mason's relieved to find Serena at home and rushes to find Maxine and Peri. Maxine asks Eric to drink her and Peri's shots to prove they're not spiked. Eric reluctantly drinks them both, knowing they've been spiked. Liberty comes across Beau again whilst at the gym. They share a connection over their spiritual outlooks on life and end up kissing. Liberty quickly pushes Beau away and runs off. Eric deteriorates at the Love Boat and falls into Mason's arms, out of sight of Maxine and Peri. Beau eyes up Tony's name on the plaque above the Dog and searches online the recent carnival fire. Mason returns Eric to his caravan and realises that he's the spiker.Cast
