A massive fight breaks out between the two gangs, the gang leader hands Derek a knife, Derek nods at him showing he knows what he wants him to do, as Derek moves off he is followed by a rival gang member also with a knife. People are running screaming in all different directions, finally an ear piercing cry is heard and the party clears and we see Derek lying on the floor holding his stomach, knife lying beside him, the gang he thought he trusted, the gang he begged acceptance from had left him. His friends turn up all tearful. Grant and Phil are either side of Derek trying to stop the bleeding, Pam and Lauren are crying, Pam calls the police
