Series 1, Episode 2

The second episode in the Series 1 of The Young Offenders (TV series).

Plot
Conor and Jock's friendships with Principal Walsh's daughters Linda and Siobhan intensify, causing awkward tension between the lads, the principal and the girls themselves. As they spend more time with Siobhan and Linda, both lads become increasingly aware of complicated feelings that are more noticeable with each meeting. Conor is anxious to try progress things with Linda, so he puts his trust in Jock's strategy to get things moving, which involves a more direct approach than Conor expected. Maybe a touch of jealousy is what's needed to kick things off? This method leads to a comical encounter between Conor and Linda on the local park bench with several onlookers. Siobhan, meanwhile, is getting more than a little frustrated with Jock's antics.

After the recent showdown between the lads, Mairead and the team of Principal Walsh and Sergeant Healy, Healy is feeling a touch of guilt and takes it upon himself to try make amends for what happened, with uncomfortable approaches leaving Mairead and Conor confused. Deciding to take a leap of faith with Linda, Conor and Jock crash a Walsh family barbecue. Principal Walsh's wife Orla is intent on her husband giving the lads a chance - they can't be all that bad, can they? Despite everyone's best intentions, things get out of hand fairly quickly, with a show-stopping spectacle getting hilariously more and more heated, leaving everyone to consider what a mistake it is to rush to make judgements about others.
