  1. 01The Inbetweeners S01E04GirlfriendS01E04 · 8.8The boys end up at a dull Friday night house party and amazingly, Will ends up pulling Charlotte "Big Jugs" Hinchcliffe. They get into some heavy petting, but the experience is short-lived as Charlotte's psychopathic ex-boyfriend Mark Donovan shows up. The next day, Will lies to Charlotte about how many girls he has had sex with, and she suggests they meet up again for more than just a kiss. Will goes to the rest of the boys and tells them about this, but Simon tells Will that Charlotte is obviously just using him to get back at Mark – leading to Will storming off. On Friday, Will and Charlotte engage in "intercourse", with the latter being let down by the experience. After Neil wins an unwanted date with Susie at the school's charity Blind Date, Will is then dumped in front of the school when Charlotte takes part in the event in an effort to find a boy "who knows what he's doing". In a sub-plot, Jay gets teased by the rest of the boys for having a friend outside of the group and even a special goodbye of two thumbs up, leading up to him finding his friend's car and jumping up and down on the bonnet, screaming that he's not his friend, whilst Neil and Simon watch in shock.
  2. 02The Inbetweeners S01E05Caravan ClubS01E05 · 8.8Jay invites the rest of the group to visit the Caravan Club which his own family are members of. Will, Simon and Neil arrive and their experience does not get off to a good start – as the boys are eating dinner in the Cartwrights' caravan, Jay's dad goes to the toilet in a loud and unpleasant manner. Later, the boys head off to the main building at the complex for a party. Will is offered sex by a punk girl; but loses his chance when he decides to take his shoes off and slide across the hall floor like a child instead. After some flirty text exchanges, Simon tries his luck with a girl who Jay has claimed to have sex with; but when he leads her outside and takes his pants off, she is shocked and reveals she doesn't want to have sex, before running inside to tell her parents. Meanwhile, Will's shoes have been stolen by a group of eight-year-olds, and he takes to getting one of them into a headlock to retrieve them. The boys then head off – albeit without Neil, who cannot be found – before Simon can get in trouble for his earlier encounter with the girl. The following morning, the boys find Neil and he explains that he slept in Simon's car, which explains where he had disappeared to the previous night. However, it is only revealed on the Dual-carriageway on the journey home that Neil reveals that he spent the night with the punk girl, who rejected Will earlier, and had been performing fore play on each other in Simon's car – which should explain why the seats are so wet.
  3. 03The Inbetweeners S03E01The Fashion ShowS03E01 · 8.7Carli organises a charity fashion show, despite Will disagreeing with "vain" fashion shows, as just a popularity contest, but changes his mind when Charlotte Hinchcliffe arrives to model; requesting him to model with her. He competes with the irritating wheelchair-user Alistair (who had been absent from school the previous year due to kidney failure) for Charlotte's attention and manages to model quite successfully, but is downhearted when Charlotte says she would never go out with him again. Jay's pierced ears become infected and he has to leave the fashion show to go to A&E. Carli, impressed by Simon's modelling, asks him to replace her modelling partner Chris Yates who was revealed to have a "disgustingly" hairy back, wearing just Speedos. Simon, despite being worried that he will get an erection over Carli in the revealing Speedos, agrees when he sees Carli in her revealing outfit. He concentrates hard on not getting an erection, but because of this, he fails to notice his testicle hanging out of the side of his Speedos, and reveals it to the whole school. Will and Alistair briefly stop arguing to inform Simon of this, and Carli thinks Simon did it on purpose to make fun of her and storms off. Meanwhile, Mr. Kennedy attempts to get Neil to undress but is dragged off by Mr. Gilbert. At the end of the episode, Simon and Will discuss the Speedo incident. Neil and Jay join them and Jay claims that he had sex with the nurse at the hospital, even though Simon says she is another student's nan. Neil reveals that he snogged Charlotte to a surprised and heartbroken Will, although mimes what he really did with her to Jay and Simon behind Will's back, and the gang head home instead of going to Mark Donovan's party.
