The group re-convene at the retreat to work together to build the confidence they need to tackle the challenges they face in daily life. Lewis came out as a man three years ago, and taking the male hormone testosterone has had massive effects - he's got a beard, a lower voice and body hair - but he's still got female breasts. When Lewis applied for a mastectomy on the NHS, he was turned down on the grounds at it would be cosmetic. He is now determined to raise the £5000 he needs to get it done privately. As he goes about setting up a fund raiser, it becomes the opportunity he's been waiting for to reconnect with his father, who's struggled to come to terms with 'losing his daughter'. Meanwhile Drew starts the third retreat believing that she'll never be able to live a normal life. She's been rejected by potential employers fearing their customers' reactions to her trans status, but just as they're preparing to leave the retreat, she gets the chance she's been hoping for: work experience at a local coffee shop. It's up to her to prove she can put a sceptical public at ease, and work like any other girl.
