Secret Life of Boys

Ginger is excited that her UK family will be flying out to Australia for her birthday (December 24th) and Christmas. She gets a scare, however, when Ethan tells her the trip is off. While Ginger frantically tries to reach the rest of the family for confirmation, they're busying themselves getting ready for Christmas. Corey is excited that Matt will finally be home from cookery school for the holidays, Robbie starts learning the bass guitar and Bob practices using his new mobile phone. Ginger finds out that Ethan was lying, but when she calls to confront him, he's too busy dealing with his own problems: Penny has broken up with him.

Ginger reaches out to Ethan after his recent breakup, but he doesn't want to talk about it with anyone. Meanwhile Matt needs hits for his web show Cooking with Gastronomical, and Robbie is learning another new instrument on his show, Robbie Live! The drums aren't as easy as he thinks, unfortunately. Chris enlists Ginger to help him trap Father Christmas and accidentally lets her in on a secret: The trip to see her is off! Her cousins aren't going to make it to Australia. Corey insists she's the reason the trip is cancelled, but Ethan isn't buying that explanation and plans to work with Matt to find out the truth.

Ginger plans on getting her cousins to Australia by any means necessary. She decides to prank call them until they give up and get on that plane. Ginger's plan doesn't go well though and both Corey and Chris are unphased by her 'Ginger Snaps'. Matt tries to get Robbie to admit that he's the reason the trip is cancelled, but Matt inadvertently tells Robbie his own secret - Matt is spending Christmas with Tabitha's family. Ethan is disappointed in Matt's efforts and vows to break Robbie on his own, but his plan backfires and Chris finds out Matt's skipping Christmas. Chris tells Matt that he's going to tell their Mum. Can Matt stop him?

Matt bribes Chris so he won't tell Corey about his Christmas plans. All it takes is a promise to take Chris to the cinema. Ginger ups her efforts to get her family to come to Australia by enlisting the help of an annoying elf puppet named Eunice. Even then, Ginger's plan ends up falling flat. Robbie continues to be frustrated with the new instruments he's trying. He's clearly using his hobbies to hide something he's not ready to face. Ethan comes up with a plan to gain Penny's affections and blackmails Matt into making her some delicious cupcakes. Bob heads off for Paris to little fanfare. Ginger, upset about her plan failing, switches gears to ask Matt for boy advice. Yup, Ginger has a boyfriend!

Ginger and Matt discuss her boy problems, which turn out to be about Ethan rather than her boyfriend. Matt lets her know that Ethan has been a problem for everyone. Ethan, who is still dealing with his breakup with Penny, calls Bob in Paris. Bob can't hide the fact that he's pampering himself on his trip, but Ethan promises Bob that his secret is safe. Chris finalises his Father Christmas trap, but Ginger tells him that it's too small to trap the actual Santa. Chris doesn't handle the news well. Robbie comes to a tipping point with the instruments and realises that he's been hiding behind them. After overhearing a chat between Corey and Ginger, Robbie decides to come clean about why the trip was really cancelled.

It's late and there's someone in the house! Robbie calls Ethan to get him to check it out. Corey then calls them to see if they know what's going on. They all call Bob to see if he's home early from Paris, but he's not. What's going on? Ethan catches Ginger, Robbie and Heath trying to find out more about his breakup. Bob tells Matt that if he's planning to spend Christmas with Tabitha's family he should talk to Corey about it ASAP. Matt promises he will, but he's not looking forward to it.

Ginger is worried that she's upset both Ethan and Robbie and wants to make it right. Robbie feels just as bad and wants to get on the plane to apologise in person, all he has to do is get over his fear of flying, so Chris offers to help him out. Ethan decides to swallow his pride and reach out to Penny, but he botches the video and makes things worse with her. Corey, meanwhile, has found out about Matt's plan to spend Christmas with Tabitha's family and is not handling it well. She heads to Matt's flat to make sure that he comes home. Bob, who is also about to go home, enlists the boys to find a Christmas gift for Corey. He forgot for the second year in a row! Bad Bob.

Ethan and Ginger finally start talking again, until Ginger admits to Ethan that she may be the reason that Penny dumped him! Matt, who is tied up thanks to Corey, does everything he can to get back to Tabitha. When he finds out that Tabitha and Corey plotted this together, he has no choice but to stick around and reconnect with his brothers. The first thing he plans on doing is helping Robbie face his fear and getting the family on the plane to Australia. Thankfully for Bob, it would also be the perfect gift for Corey.

With the help of his brothers, Robbie tries something new to get over his fear of flying. Ethan quickly loses patience and storms off. Later, Ginger tries her best to make up with him and finally manages to get through. Matt meanwhile is on the hunt for the perfect selfie, and tests Tabitha's patience in the process. After Ginger is so sad she has to end a call early, Corey and Bob put a plan in motion.

It's Christmas Eve! And it's Ginger's birthday! She's had a wonderful day out with her dad, but can't help missing her UK family. Feeling abandoned, Ginger wonders why they've not been in touch, only to receive a sudden call from them whilst they're out doing their Christmas shopping. The call is over too soon, so Ginger contacts Heath to see if he knows why they're acting so strangely. Unfortunately Heath also soon starts acting strangely. What is going on?.
