– When Cassie asks Maddie whether one can be friends with a guy without sleeping with them and Maddie responds in the affirmative only after having slept with them you’re skeptical. – I love that Cassie’s boss at the diner has Reuben cover his ears before swearing at his employees. I liked her and it was sad that she was having such a hard time of ‘making it’ and here Cassie was just getting modeling jobs because a co-worker got to stalking her and posting his ‘artsy’ photos of her online. Although I do reckon it should used in moderation, Cassie’s father is an example of allowing his memories of something good to interfere with his present responsibilities as a parent. Remembering something good can keep you sane when it seems like everything’s gone to shit. It harks back not only to her past but to her past relationships, with her mother, Sid, her friends. Cassie stops it, telling Jacob not to spoil it, citing the need to remember something good. He goes back into stalker mode and follows her around until- When Yaniv sees the message he beats the crap out of Jacob. However, evident in his dissent into possessive crazy guy, she does not find long term companionship in Jacob. You think she has found companionship in Jacob, who’s even confronted Cassie’s dad about having messed Cassie up somehow. However despite it there’s still something missing, Cassie isolates herself to talk to Reuben on the phone and that’s what you realise it missing, companionship. Whether or not this leads to more modeling work in her life is irrelevant, what matters is the happiness it appears to bring her.

Granted it seems a bit triggering for someone who’s suffered through an eating disorder and confidence issues to be thrown into the world of modelling, however since the beginning of Skins Pure it’s obvious that Cassie isn’t the same girl she was in series two. The girl who first brings the website with Cassie’s photographs on it to Cassie’s attention convinces Cassie to do a photo shoot with her and we finally get the sense that this is something Cassie was meant to do. And so in Skins Pure when Cassie takes it upon herself to allow Jacob to keep photographing her and posting it online, we’re watching Cassie begin to reclaim her sense of agency. She’s no longer that damaged teenager harming herself in an attempt to feel powerful and in charge of her life, however she is working at a diner, the same thing she’d been doing at the end of series two. It seems that Cassie has always been waiting for her life to begin, or running from the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.’ When she begins to cry while Maddie says they’re all just waiting for their lives to begin you get the sense that it’s just hitting Cassie how unsure she is about where she stands in life.
