In this episode, Will's mother goes away on a trip and leaves him home alone for the weekend. Excited by the prospect of having the house to himself, Will makes plans to invite his friends over for a weekend of drinking and debauchery. However, his plans are quickly derailed when Simon gets grounded by his mother and can't come over, leaving Will alone with just Jay and Neil.
Despite the setback, Will is determined to make the most of the weekend and convinces Jay and Neil to come over anyway. However, things quickly start to go wrong when they realize that they have no idea how to cook or even reheat leftovers. Their attempts at cooking a pizza result in a burnt mess, forcing them to order takeout instead.

One of his neighbors, a creepy old man, starts to make him feel uncomfortable, and he becomes convinced that the man is trying to break into the house. Meanwhile, Jay and Neil are preoccupied with trying to hook up with a girl they met online, but their plans are foiled when they discover that she is a middle-aged woman with a penchant for role-playing.
Despite all of the chaos and mishaps, Will manages to keep his cool and maintain some level of control over the situation. He even manages to spark a romance with a girl he meets online. In the end, the three friends come out of the experience with a newfound sense of independence and maturity.
Overall, Will Is Home Alone is a hilarious episode that showcases the show's unique blend of raunchy humor, awkward teenage moments, and heartwarming moments of friendship. Fans of The Inbetweeners will not want to miss this one.
