While Alfie may have the best of intentions, things quickly go awry as his lesson plans are met with resistance from the overly enthusiastic students, many of whom seem to have a loose understanding of what sex education entails. With his students getting more and more out of hand, Alfie must do his best to keep them under control and ensure that they learn the important lessons he's trying to impart.
As the episode opens, we find Alfie in a bit of a predicament - he's not quite sure how to approach the topic of sex education with his students.

Through it all, Alfie is forced to confront his own discomfort with the topic and his inability to connect with his students.
