In the first episode, we see a glimpse of Charlie’s relationship with Ben.
Then we see Charlie in his new form and he is seated next to the school’s rugby player Nick Nelson for whom Charlie develops feelings. In the first class of form, Charlie and Nick become friends and this makes Charlie more attracted to Nick. But here Charlie is unsure of Nick’s sexuality.
As their friendship develops, Nick asks Charlie to join the rugby club which he accepts. Then we see Charlie’s boyfriend Ben kissing a girl and Charlie sees it. This made him realize how unhappy he is with Ben and he decides to quit things with Ben. Later, Ben asks Charlie to meet him again and when met, Ben tries to forcibly kiss Charlie.

In episode two of the series, Nick invites Charlie to his house and while Charlie is sleeping, he tries to hold Charlie’s hands which makes him question his sexuality.
Then the series showcases Nick trying to discover his sexuality and the confusion that he goes through. In episode three of the series, Nick kisses Charlie and was surprised by his sudden action. The episode ends with Nick at Charlie’s doorstep and the two kissing each other. The two decide to date each other but not to come out because Nick still hasn’t found his sexuality. The relationship between Charlie and Nick makes Charlie distant from Tao.
After some incidents, Charlie decides to ignore Nick to save his friendship with Tao and also to give Nick peace.
