An effort to throw the others of the scent leads to the gang thinking Gilly is in love with Sarah.

Meanwhile Lydia is seething when she discovers Sarah neglected to mention her ex Zoe was going camping with her. Borrowing Charlotte's camping gear Lydia goes off in hot pursuit. As the gang swap ghost stories, Sarah gets a real fright when Lydia turns up unannounced. Lydia and Sarah's ensuing fight suggests the rest of the week at camp is unlikely to go without incident…

Sarah is confused by Zoe distancing herself and this prompts another row between Sarah and Lydia who accuses her of showing off for Zoe's attention. During a training session for the skydive, Zoe subtly probes Sarah to try and establish whether Lydia was right, that she did try to kill herself after they slept together. Lydia fears she's about to be revealed as a liar and feigns a twisted ankle to interrupt the moment. Kingsley's pursuit of Zoe comes to nothing as she opts to get drunk with Sarah rather than spend the evening in barracks with him. Zoe insinuates that she knows Lydia faked the injury and that Sarah didn't try to kill herself. Lydia unleashes a torrent of abuse at a shocked Zoe. She warns her again to stay away from Sarah. Zoe is left shaken by her venom. Sarah admits to Zoe that she feels like Lydia is a bit full on, Zoe advises her not to stay with her out of guilt. Around the campfire, Zoe, Lydia and Sarah drink. In a bid to lighten the mood, Sarah suggests a drinking game. However this soon backfires as Lydia grows increasingly angered by the in jokes and closeness Sarah and Zoe share. Lydia storms off and Sarah and Zoe, finding the whole situation a little funny now that they're well oiled, head off in hot pursuit to make amends. After a very drunk Zoe falls in a brook, Sarah helps Zoe out of her wet clothes, and the mood shifts. Sarah admits she still has strong feelings towards Zoe. When Sarah crosses the line and tries to kiss and fondle her, Zoe manages to shove her off before passing out in a drunken stupor. Sarah cuddles her friend as she sleeps unaware that outside, Lydia has overheard the whole thing..
Episode 4
It's the day of the parachute jump. Zoe wakes furious as she recalls the events of the previous night. She feels betrayed that Sarah would abuse their friendship by taking advantage of her when she was drunk. Lydia is also reeling having witnessed the incident, but tries to turn this around into her own favour by admitting to Sarah what she saw. She reassures her that she is not angry, after all it's not her fault, it's the bitch Zoe that's to blame. Before she knows it, Sarah's apologising to her girlfriend; agreeing Zoe was in the wrong and that she should go home. Lydia goes to call her a cab…
Although she knows she stopped her before Sarah went too far, Zoe decides to have it out with her so-called best friend. Spurred on by a pass from Kingsley, an argument between Sarah and Zoe erupts, and the girls lunge themselves at one another. The fight is short-lived however, as the girls burst into hysterics at their own behaviour. Their friendship is stronger than this, they both need to get over it. Lydia's devastated to discover that Sarah and Zoe have made up, but she covers it well. Totally frustrated that she can't control the situation, Lydia decides to take desperate action. She heads to where the girl's parachutes are laid out and goes to cut her own parachute chords.
The girls are anxious as the reality of jumping out of a plane hits them. Lydia is utterly horrified when Kingsley presents them with their parachutes, having mixed them up. There's no way Lydia can tell who has the faulty parachute. Too much of a wimp to incriminate herself, she is forced to keep quiet. Horrifyingly, the girls are playing Russian roulette with their lives... one of them is guaranteed to die today.
