An awkward scholarship student and a social media influencer vandalize a university statue in protest. The next morning, they discover a cuddled athlete at its base and must clear their names while finding the real hugger.

As the girls deal with an anonymous threat that could tie them to the campus cuddle, Officers Shepherd and Roach kick off their investigation with an arrest.

With a second cuddle victim found on campus, University Club Day proves the perfect place for Elise and Barbara to search for the hugger. Unfortunately, Shepherd and Roach have the exact same idea. Meanwhile, the Vice Chancellor employs a self defence "coach" for vulnerable male students.

With Prue behaving strangely, the girls must crash a feminist protest party to find out what she remembers about the night of the cuddles. Meanwhile, Shepherd is philosophically torn as the Vice Chancellor demands she shut the protest party down.

As cracks begin to form in Elise and Barbara's friendship, Elise finds solace in her newfound bond with University Improv Theatre legend Kaye Blanchett. The only problem is Kaye is just a little bit connected to every single cuddle.

With a mutilated boy still missing, Shepherd and Roach are desperate to get information out of their prime suspect Donna before it's too late. Meanwhile, Barbara and Elise are attending an infamous St Stephens college party to reclaim Barbara's reputation and kickstart Elise's. But things go off course when a visitor from Barbara's past threatens to derail everything.

As Barbara comes to terms with her past trauma at a university group therapy session, Elise is doing her best to be a supportive friend whilst also stopping the Archaeology Club from digging up evidence linking them to the night of the cuddle. Meanwhile, the war between the MRAs and the Radical Feminists reaches its unhappy crescendo.

After Barbara and Elise's fallout, Elise is packing her bags for home. But when Barbara reveals who the hugger is - and that they're planning their biggesthug yet - Elise is reluctantly pulled back into the action. Together the girls must protect the football team at their infamous Captain's Luncheon, before things end with a BOOM!
