The episode opens with Effy's eye view of people she's passing by as she walks along a busy business center area. She enters a building swiping her badge to access entry. She boards a lift and as it closes, Effy looks straight with determined eyes.
Effy, at 21, now works for a hedge fund as a receptionist and seems to be having a good life after all those traumas she had way back in high school. However, her duties in the firm were to serve coffee and distribute printouts which is as we know Effy's character sees it as a boring and lifeless job.
One of the senior managers in the office, Victoria, is a little push over and bitchy which Effy now feels not of a threat but a little challenge which will later on spark a conflict between them. Looking back on her in the old Skins, Effy likes thrill and has been an adventure-seeking girl which we can still recognize in this episode.
