"Skins Pure" is a feature-length episode of the E4 television series Skins. Airing in two parts in 2013, "Skins Pure" was the second of three feature-length episodes of a specially commissioned seventh series to bring the series to a close. While in its first six series Skins was a teen drama focusing on the life of Bristolian teenagers, "Skins Pure", as with previous episode "Fire", is a filmically and tonally distinct drama revisiting one of the show's characters as they adjust to adulthood.
"Skins Pure" focuses on the character of Cassie Ainsworth (Hannah Murray), a main character in the show's first two series. Formerly a daydreaming party girl with a number of mental problems, Cassie has put many of her problems behind her, and waitresses at a café in London after having spent several years travelling around America with Sid Jenkins (Cassie's on and off boyfriend from the first two series who travelled to America to find her at the end of the second series). In the story, Cassie forms an odd friendship with her stalker (Olly Alexander), and tries to support her younger brother, Reuben, as their father, Marcus (Neil Morrissey), fails to cope with the death of their mother.
