In the ensuing meeting he has with JJ, Freddie informs him that he must choose between him or Cook, which upsets JJ. It is also revealed that Freddie has his shed back after the events of his central episode. Cook later takes some of JJ's prescription medication which compels him to tell the truth. After seeing Cook getting attacked, Freddie berates JJ for being careless, though the two eventually manage to rescue Cook. Cook groggily admits to Freddie that he loves Effy, and that Freddie discovers Effy does not love Cook back which gives him some hope. In “Effy”, Freddie is continuing his relationship with Katie Fitch to Effy's dismay. At a camping trip most of the gang attend, Freddie grows distant from Katie, flirting with Effy after her apparent rejection of Cook. Katie confronts Effy's behaviour but because of Effy's consumption of magic mushrooms (and subsequent bad trip), she knocks Katie out with a rock after she was pushed and pinned to the ground. Effy wanders back to the camp-site; she is too scared to tell the others of Katie and proceeds to have sex with Freddie. Katie is eventually found and taken to hospital where she reveals Effy hit and left her (although conveniently left out the reasons why she did so). Nonetheless this disgusts Freddie and a disgraced Effy leaves Bristol with Cook. In “Katie and Emily”, Freddie and JJ run into the Fitch twins at a clothes shop. Freddie talks to Katie and apologises for his behaviour at the camp-site, Katie forces Freddie to take her to the prom and volunteers Emily to go with JJ. Freddie jokes that JJ would love to go with Emily after the two had sex. This causes problems for the Fitches and Emily's relationship with Naomi. In the series finale, Freddie gets a call from Effy, who states her concern for Cook and how his father manipulates him. She tells Freddie where they are, who takes JJ with him and travels there. The town host an annual race which the boys enter, stating the winner takes Effy. JJ surprisingly wins the race using his intelligence and uses the occasion to take charge and demand Effy picks one of them. Whilst she does not say anything, her gaze lingers at Freddie which angers Cook, who leaves. Cook gets in an argument with his dad, who threatens to burn Cook's face off. Freddie arrives to knock Cook Senior out, helping his friend. The four travel back to Bristol, where the problem seemingly remains unsolved despite Freddie temporarily patching up his differences with Cook.
