I haven't mentioned Sid because he unfortunately doesn't feature in any way. This is about growing up and feeling lost, Cassie doesn't know what she's doing with herself and she doesn't know what to do about it. As with "Fire", this is a more mature version of Skins, and you'll find little to enjoy if you come here looking for wild parties and recreational drug use. She's shy and unconfident in conversation, something brilliantly conveyed by the actor. Her wide-eyed fascination with the world hasn't faded (although she's notably less vocal about it), but it's made clear that Cassie doesn't talk to people frequently at all and she's much less whimsical than she used to be. "Pure" looks beautiful visually, with magnificent shots sweeping over all of London at night and a wonderful depiction of loneliness in a big city. Instead, it heavily relies on atmospheric imagery and music to give us an idea of Cassie's experience of the world.

We see that she's cut herself off from others, largely spending time looking at herself and becoming far more introverted than she ever was in Series 1 or 2.Īs a result, this is an episode that doesn't have much dialogue. It seems thematically unfocused, but this is absolutely a reflection of the lack of fulfillment that Cassie is finding in her life. She only moved back to London recently after things didn't work out in the US, and she's now looking for some sort of clarity to her life.īecause this series strives for realism, it's perhaps unsurprising that "Pure" doesn't have any straightforward answers for Cassie. It has been at least five years since we last saw Cassie move to New York, and she reveals that she has been there all this time. Of the three characters that we're getting to catch up with in the seventh series, Cassie is the one who we've not seen for the greatest length of time. When she realises that somebody is following her and taking photos of her (that are posted online), she is understandably frightened, but she's also intrigued.Īt first glance, there are very few similarities between the Cassie we see here and the girl we got to know in the first two series of Skins. She works as a waitress at a cafe and is clearly searching for something but is struggling to pin down exactly what it is she wants. She's been here for less time, though, and she has realistically not landed herself a perfect job. Like Effy, Cassie (Hannah Murray) has now moved to London.
