With Kelly, Curtis, Alisha and Simon sill mourning the apparent death of Nathan, a mysterious masked man leads the gang to Nathan’s grave, where Kelly hears his thoughts and realises that he’s still alive. The gang dig Nathan up…
Although Nathan’s officially dead, the gang’s new probation worker Shaun gets him back into the community service system. With the gang reunited they meet Lucy, a patient on day release from a psychiatric ward to do an art therapy class at the community centre. Unbeknownst to the gang, Simon knows Lucy: he used to be a patient at the psychiatric unit too, where she had become obsessed with him.
After Simon publicly snubs Lucy, strange things start to happen around the community centre: most notably, Alisha gives Simon a blow-job. The gang soon realises that Lucy, who was also struck in the storm, has a strange power and she uses it to play them off against one another as she wreaks revenge on Simon.

Unbeknownst to the gang, a mysterious masked figure follows their every move from the roof of the community centre.

Nathan is shocked when Jamie, a long-lost brother he never knew he had, turns up at the community centre. As Nathan and Jamie get to know each other it soon becomes clear that neither have a very good relationship with Mike, their useless father.
Taking Jamie under his wing, Nathan and the gang head off to a club where everyone takes a load of pills. But the gang soon realise that the pills reverse their super-powers: Curtis can fast-forward time, everyone who touches Alisha thinks that she’s an ugly minger, etc. In a Curtis ‘flash-forward’, he is confused to find himself on the community centre roof, dressed in a real superhero outfit, and kissing a mysterious girl…

Episode 7: Christmas special
Sunday 18th December 2010
‘Tis the week before Christmas and all through the estate, not much of anything is happening, until one of the gang sees some graffiti that offers ‘Money for Powers’. At the address advertised they meet Seth (Matthew McNulty), a drug dealer who was also struck in the storm and now has the ability to deal powers.
Nothing good comes of Seth’s presence on the estate – certainly nothing which carries a festive message of peace and goodwill to all men. A disgruntled priest, quick-fix money-making schemes, lost powers, and a nativity scene that has to be seen to be believed, all add up to Christmas, Misfits-style.
