Freddie Mclair

Freddie Mclair

Freddie happily skates around, smoking weed with his mates, and staying cool. He has problems taming his crazy friend Cook, who is not afraid to do anything. His other best friend JJ is an integral part of their friendship, as he acts as a mediator whenever there is a fight between Cook and Freddie. In the third series, Freddie's relationship with his family is strained due to his sister Karen attempting to use their mother's death in order to become famous. However, in the fourth series, he and Karen are much closer, having resolved all their differences.
Much of the third series deals with Freddie's romantic feelings for Effy and how that affects Cook, who also has fallen in love with her. Effy's decision to start a relationship with Cook although she has feelings for Freddie begins to deteriorate the friendship between Cook and Freddie. By the end of the series, Effy's choice in which she picks Freddie, pretty much destroys his friendship with Cook.
In the fourth series, Freddie and Effy both deal with the fallout of her decision, and thus are unsure how to talk to Cook. Throughout the series, Freddie and Cook's relationship is still strained, due to Cook's lingering feelings for Effy. Similarly, his relationship with Effy is put to the test when she starts having a mental breakdown; he's not sure whether he is strong enough to stay or if he's not able to handle it.

Unknown to everyone, John Foster is obsessed with Effy and was using his"alternative" methods in order to keep her (making her forget everyone else she ever loved). Because of this, Freddie, after getting a phone call from Foster, goes and confronts Foster without telling anyone. When he reaches Foster's house, he yells at Foster to leave Effy alone and that no one wants him around her. Foster pretends to be okay with this, and promises to back off. However, when Freddie leaves to open the door of the room, he finds it locked. He's confused on why and attempts to open it. Foster, meanwhile, comes up behind him with a baseball bat. We then cut to a scene of the basement door, with John beating Freddie brutally, with Freddie yelling and blood hiting the window, he keeps beating the now silent Freddie.

To cover his crime, Foster planted evidence that make it seem that Freddie had run away, not being able to deal with Effy's problems. Most of the gang believes this explanation, however Karen is the first person to realize something is off, as most of his things (including his favorite shirt) are still in his room.
When Katie talks to Effy, she said she can hear Freddie talking to her in her head. Later, Karen finds evidence that makes her think that something more sinister happened to Freddie and talks to Cook. When Cook tries to tell her to accept that Freddie ran away, she attacks him. She tells him that if Cook was really Freddie's friend, he would look for him, as Freddie did for Cook in "Finale" (episode 3.10). She gives the evidence she found to Cook, and tells him that he should read it and see if it changes him mind.
The evidence turns out to be Freddie's notebook, that all pages are filled up stating "I Love Effy", however on one of the pages, Freddie's wrote in black sharpie "John Foster wants to hurt Effy". This causes Cook to realize that Freddie's disappearance might have to do with Foster, and he cries, realizing how badly he left his friendship with Freddie. Cook brings his suspicions to Effy, but he does not share it with the rest of the gang.
The gang decides to throw a party in Freddie's shed to celebrate his birthday and to honor him. Cook, viewing a picture of him, Freddie, and JJ decides to look for clues about Freddie's disappearance. When he goes outside the shed to pee, he sees Foster, watching the party going on in the shed. Without being seen, Cook follows Foster back to his home and breaks into the basement. When he starts looking through the boxes, he sees a bag full of bloody clothes, and realizes they are Freddie's. After a confrontation with Foster, and finding out Foster killed Freddie, Cook attacks him, and most probably kills him, avenging Freddie's death.
