Misfits S5E6 - "Episode 6" Recap

The gang is sent to spend time with some terminally ill patients as part of their community service. While there, they meet a worker named Karen who has the ability to turn invisible and camouflage herself. One of the patients, Lucas, has the ability to steal the life force/will to live from people to delay his succumbing to his terminal skin cancer.

Rudy and Jess still haven't told Finn about their relationship. Rudy struggles to get it up when he and Jess attempt to sneak off and hook up during their community service. He continues to have difficulties. Jess asks if it's because of her and Rudy insists that it's not. They have a heart-to-heart in which he realises that he's struggling to perform because he loves her.

Alex encounters a girl who has dropped her keys in the water and denies her request for help, even though she says she can't swim. She comes back to the bar and puts a gypsy curse on him. She asks him to drive her home and he says that he can't because he is working. He then falls over, vomiting up green bile. She tells him that every time he refuses to help someone, he will feel like he is drowning.

One of the patients at the centre, having had his will to live stolen by Lucas, commits suicide.

Rudy Two goes to visit Helen and says he is interested in her. She reciprocates his feelings and the two begin a relationship.

Alex asks the girl who cursed him to remove it and expresses regret over not helping the boy who killed himself, even though he didn't know what he was going to do. Abbey asks Alex to fuck her turtle so that he can turn into a human again and they can be together.

The powered patient steals Finn's will to live. He grabs some rope and visits Rudy, telling him he loves him before walking off.  Alex is preparing to get it on with the turtle when he finds Finn hanging by the neck. He holds him up and Finn pleads with him to let him die, but Alex refuses. The gang all gather around Finn and try to figure out what has happened. They step outside and Rudy theorises that Finn has learned about his relationship with Jess and recounts how Finn had told him he loves him.

Alex and the rest of the gang eventually realise that Finn doesn't know about Rudy and Jess and that it must have something to do with the storm. They're about to have Alex forcibly fuck the powers out of who they think is responsible when Karen tells them that she has figured out that Lucas is the one who has harmed people.

Lucas has gotten Abbey onto the roof and asks her to hold him, his method of stealing people's will to live, when she offers him a hand job instead. He asks if she'll hold him afterwards and she agrees. The hand job gives the gang enough time to get to Abbey and keep her from suffering the same fate as Finn. Alex tells Lucas that he either needs to fix Finn or he'll fuck the powers out of him. Lucas agrees to restore Finn.

The girl who cursed Alex comes to the bar and says she'll life the curse for two bottles of white wine. He gives them to her and she then reveals that she had lifted the curse when he had come to her flat and pleaded for her to do so. Alex asks her to have a drink with him and she turns him down, saying she is a lesbian.

Rudy is incredibly ashamed for not being able to perform sexually now that he loves Jess. She lists various flaws, saying she is not perfect, and tells him she loves him. They're then able to have sex.

Karen meets Rudy Two on the roof, having seen his superhero jumper, saying she thinks he has been looking for her. Rudy Two is elated at finally having now found everyone from it.
