In My Skin - Episode Guide

Coming-of-age story of 16-year-old Bethan, who we follow as she deals with the comical but painfully real anxieties and insecurities of teenage life, along with the stark reality of a home life that is far removed from what she projects to her friends.

Bethan is offered the chance to get away from her troubles at home, but a burgeoning friendship at school is too tantalising to walk away from.

Bethan finds herself double-booked to study with Poppy, but it's Lydia's birthday. With Nana looking after Trina, Bethan has to choose who she sees, with shocking consequences.

After missing an exam, Bethan is forced to go to school and leave Trina in the care of Dilwyn, which has terrifying results. But despite this, Bethan grows ever closer to Poppy.

With Trina sectioned again, Bethan is at her lowest ebb. She decides to fight back, throwing herself into running for head girl against Poppy.

With her mum Trina released from hospital and now working with Nana at the local bingo hall, Bethan finds herself free to experience the joys of teenage life. At school Bethan is full of herself as she tries to make a good impression on new girl Cam who she has a crush on. However, Bethan's home life is far from perfect as she becomes ever more combative with her abusive father, Dilwyn.

Bethan and her friends Lydia, Travis and the rest of their classmates go on an overnight visit to a local university. On her return home, Bethan meets the man Trina has been having an affair with, Perry. Despite her reservations, Bethan understands why her mum (Jo Hartley) believes they can both have a better future if she can find a way to be with Perry.

Bethan is taken aback when her mother suddenly announces that she's planning to leave Dilwyn and is concerned about the danger Trina will be in when her dad finds out about the affair. Meanwhile Bethan's relationship with Cam reaches a new level.

As Trina's mental health deteriorates, Bethan once again finds herself caring for her mother and hiding the truth about her life from her friends. However, Cam won't be fobbed off with her lies and wants to know the truth.

Bethan helps her mother Trina change her life but finds herself suffering as a result. Now having graduated from school, Bethan still can't find the courage to be honest with her friends Travis and Lydia. Instead she retreats into a lifestyle that is safe but threatens her own mental health. Can she break free?
