The Hunting - Episode Guide

At West Park High, teachers Ray and Eliza discuss their school's hard-line policies around sex and technology, and a burgeoning new romance soon begins between the two. When Ray finds a naked photo of diligent student Amandip (Dip) Dhaliwal on the phone of her new boyfriend Nassim Bitar, he decides to keep his students safe from repercussions and not report it. But, when he finds the photo has been uploaded to an illegal website, Ray is thrown into a spin. Meanwhile, at nearby Spencer High, sixteen year-old Zoe Hunt-Laskaris has been experimenting with online sex with popular, confident Andy Luke. Andy, however, has been recording their interactions - and is deeply involved with an online community of boys sharing images of their friends and peers online.

Ray and Eliza agree to keep the presence of the website hidden from their principal, in the hope that Nassim will be able to get Dip's photo down before she finds out. However, Dip is trolled anonymously online - and when she discovers why, she finds it impossible to keep it hidden from her conservative mother. At Spencer High, Zoe discovers an image of her tryst with Andy stuck to her locker - but can't believe it when the school refuses to do anything about the situation.

As the police begin to investigate Andy, his mother Simone starts to consider that her husband and son have been lying to her. Eliza is disappointed at her school's lacklustre response to the issue and decides to report the website to the press, hoping to increase public pressure and bring about a change in culture. Ray feels betrayed and their relationship hangs by a thread. When Nassim's attempts to reconcile with Dip lead to her father finding out about the photo, she looks for support online - leading her to Zoe, who has decided to publicly out Andy in social media. Zoe convinces Nassim and Dip to take their case to the police - which leads to unexpected consequences.

Nassim and Dip's confession to the police leads them to court. While tensions bubble over, the judge throws the case out — which is a relief, but also doesn't bring any justice for Andy. As everyone tries to return to their lives, Ray is forced to confront that he may have done more harm than good as Dip is removed from his maths class — and turns to a reluctant Eliza for help. While Zoe and Dip seek some kind of retribution against Andy, Simone finally accepts the reality of her family — and the fact that there might not be anything she can do about them.
