Great episode, I always found Effy an over-hyped character but when I did a re-run I really enjoyed her.

Naomi has changed so much! But I still love. Next week's ep should be equally as interesting, oh and Emily

It was a bit dry, wasn't it? You could have banged it on Bloomberg. Still it had crazy Naomi. I love crazy Naomi. It's like someone rolled my mum some spliffy clyros and threw her into a student exchange programme.

I thought it was okay, I wish there was more returning characters though. It couldn't have been that difficult to get most of them back since not a lot of them have gone onto bigger or better things. It just didn't feel a lot like Skins to me, it felt quite generic.

I'm so depressed now. What is it with Skins and these endings this is totally not the closure any Naomily fan wanted...don't kill one of them off ffs and if you're going to do that at least give them their own episode

There was way too much Naomi and way too little Emily

And Effy going to prison...well, I guess it's a believable end but not the one I wanted. I totally wanted her to **** Dom good and proper and them to run off to Spain or some place together. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Well written episodes though, I just didn't like the ending.

The ending worked well imo

I think it's to show that Effy has been selfish throughout her life and it's caused nothing but pain. She didn't call Emily when Naomi was ill (on Naomi's orders) but you can see that Naomi had very little time left and Emily would've wanted to have been there through all of it. This is down to Effy's selfishness because she didn't want to cause inconveniencing drama.

She got sent to prison at the end because it shows that her selfishness has helped nobody, not even herself. Her smile in the car on the way to prison reflects her realisation that she has been selfish.

I think it worked well because it summed up Effy as a character. Yes, Naomi is almost dead (she wasn't necessarily killed off) but it helped portray the type of person Effy is. She wasn't there at all for Naomi because all she had was money in her eyes. Which is showed when she buys the penthouse apartment.

I really enjoyed Effy's story and look forward to both Cassie's and Cook's.

I actually liked the first part of Fire quite a bit. Effy's obviously changed but deep down she's still the selfish party girl she's always been.

The Naomi part though I just can't. Clearly done to please to Naomily stans and romanticizing death yet again.

I wasn't happy with the ending, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was bad I guess... I may appreciate it more on some reflection.

The death was clearly to please Naomily stans, but I liked it nonetheless. I do feel, though, that Naomi should've died before Emily got there because I think it would've been stronger.

That's a fair summary I suppose although Naomi didn't want to tell Emily and unless I missed something she didn't want Effy to tell her either?

Also I don't think Naomily stans wanted one of them to die I wouldn't call myself a stan but Emily is my favourite Skins character and their relationship was my favourite too and in no way did I ever (even back in S3 and 4) want one of them to have this ending, it's the worst case scenario. I wanted a happy ending.

Naomi didn't want to tell Emily because she felt it would've been too hard and didn't want Effy to tell her either for the same reason, she didn't want Emily knowing because she didn't want to "burden" her, I guess.

I would have liked a happy ending, too, but I think it worked in relation to Effy's character development.

Just caught up with Skins Fire on 4oD.

Such a sad ending for Naomily, not what Id have wished for but executed so well. I loved Effy's grin at the end when she knew she had ****ed over her boss right back. Id have liked to have had this spread out across 3 eps so we could have seen more Emily and Dom though.

Fantastic 2 episodes really looking forward to Cassie and Cook now. I do think this should have been credited as 'Effy and Naomi' mind, I think Naomi's story definitely took over in this second installment
