4x01 Sypnosis

The gang are back after the summer break, in a seemingly protective bubble of hedonism: there are no consequences, no tomorrow and everyone will live forever. Then Thomas (Merveille Lukeba) experiences a life-changing event, causing him to question everything: his faith, his family and even his choice of friends. The reverberations will reach far beyond Thomas?s story, affecting the lives of all those around him.

Effy (Kaya Scodelario) returns, no longer with her queen-bee status, and still struggling to deal with her family issues. Her best friend, Pandora (Lisa Backwell), is back, adorable and kooky as ever. Twins Katie (Megan Prescott) and Emily (Kathryn Prescott) are visibly different: after leaving her sister?s shadow Emily is head over heels in love, but while she?s finding out what life is really like, Katie is left behind in a family meltdown.

Naomi (Lily Loveless) seems to have more to hide this series; while JJ (Ollie Barbieri) finally discovers what love is. Meanwhile Cook (Jack O?Connell) tries to simultaneously exorcise his demons while concealing his weaknesses, and Freddie (Luke Pasqualino) finds out that love can lead you to the edge of sanity.

Skins writer Georgia Lester has revealed that the show's fourth series will feature "lots of heartbreak".

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, she confessed that the love triangle between Freddie, Effy and Cook will finally be resolved.

"Effy does choose someone, but I can't tell you who!" she said. "Nothing can be happy when it comes to Effy, so there's a lot of heartbreak. They all become mended at points."

Lester added that she will miss working with Kaya Scodelario (Effy) when the cast are axed at the end of series four.

"I think she really has grown within Skins and the audience has loved her. But I think it's another challenge for the writers and for the audience to accept - if we do get recommissioned - a completely new cast.

"I think it will be very sad when she leaves - Kaya's been a massive part of Skins."

Ten teasers about the new series of 'Skins'

The rumours are true: Skins is returning for its fourth series next month! Last time around, Effy had got herself into a bit of a pickle with Cook and Freddie, Pandora and Thomas decided to call time on their relationship, and Naomi and Emily... well, they weren't really sure what to do for the best. Ahead of the new series, Tube Talk outlines what we can expect from television's most notorious teens.

1. There's a tragic accident in episode one - and Thomas is left feeling responsible.

2. Cook and Freddie become a smaller part of JJ's life as he starts to stand on his own two feet. There's even love on the horizon for him!

3. Pandora's calmed down a lot, and that means less hedonism and a lack of rebellion...

4. ...whereas Thomas is punching out in all sorts of ways - and his reckless behaviour may last the whole series.

5. Effy returns to school to find she's no longer Queen Bee. Who might take her place?

6. The twins are much more separate this time around. While Emily starts off on cloud nine, Katie is left dealing with a family meltdown.

7. Naomi and Emily are loved up from episode one - but Naomi is hiding something from her which may threaten their relationship.

8. After standing up for what he feels is right, love pushes Freddie to the brink of insanity.

9. Cook is up to his usual tricks: turning to drugs and booze to mask his feelings.

10. One teen turns to God after a devastating turns of events.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
