Peter becomes close friends with ladies man Riley, but the friendship becomes less than platonic when Riley gets too close, and tries to kiss Peter. Alli and Clare find a vibrator under Mr. Simpson's bed, after working on a school project there, and things become awkward when Clare brings it to school.
