Series 1, Episode 3

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

Plot
After the disastrous encounter at the Walsh family barbecue, Conor and Jock have one last chance to make Linda and Siobhan fall for them. They suggest to both girls that they should spend one full day with them, all four together, on what they hope will be a beautiful adventure, so that the girls can see just what they're missing out on. If they don't want to hang out with them after this day, then the lads will give up pursuing them. The girls, sensing an opportunity to rid themselves of the lads once and for all, agree to the suggestion. A sick day from school is the only way they can do this, leading to various difficulties for all four.

Meanwhile, Mairead decides to invite a 'friend' over for dinner, which doesn't go down well with Conor. The special day begins with a clash - the lads haven't told the girls what their plans for the day are, so the girls arrive dressed to impress - not appropriate clothing to cycle on borrowed bikes around Cork for the day. The idea to stop off at the river for a spot of swimming goes down like a lead balloon with the girls. But the lads think that they'll win them over with their swimming skills, which attracts more attention than they bargained for. Things take an unexpected turn when Jock is reminded that the day is a poignant anniversary date, leaving the foursome needing to rally together and be supportive. Jock's sensitive side makes Siobhan think twice about her feelings for him. As the long day continues, attitudes are changed and warmer feelings develop, to the surprise of all.
