In the final episode of series four, Rudy's passion for Nadine is put to the test when he tries to persuade her that they have a future together.

Online Watch Misfits Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Suspecting that she is keeping something from him, he finally discovers her secret, and the truth takes on biblical proportions when the gang discover her super-power. Abby gets herself added to the credits animation this week, so it looks like she's here to stay. Maybe her superpower is standing on her own two feet, since neither Finn nor Rudy have called dibs or tried to hit on her just yet. No so luck for Jess, whose own story remains an extension of Alex's. She won't know what to do with herself when she finally, inevitably, gives the Hollyoaks wannabe the elbow. Until then, she's left on the sidelines looking a bit sad and constantly rebuffing Finn's annoying advances. Credit where it's due though, she handles Alex's little, ah, problem, with remarkable sensitivity.
It didn't take her long, but Abby gets one of the episode's bigger subplots. In it, she encounters a terrified pregnant lady in the Community Centre loos. Chaos ensues when the girl somehow swaps the baby from her own body into Abby's (oh, that zany storm). It's an odd storyline for a character we don't really know all that well, but it's an interesting concept. If we'd been given the time to get to know her better, it'd have a lot more meaning and resonance. Meanwhile, Rudy finds – and then loses again – the mysterious girl of his dreams, and Alex trawls the local nightclubs for his penis's new owner. It's a lot like that episode of Futurama in which Fry has his nose stolen by aliens, only a lot less funny. It's also somehow less rude, which just goes to show that sometimes less is more.
It's when the group hits the karaoke bar that this episode hits its stride. Not only does Alex finally find the knob-napper, but a very unlikely figure takes to the stage for a stirring rendition of “The Power of Love”. What with that always-on-TV John Lewis advert and the song appearing at the end of Sightseers, it's been a busy year for Gabrielle Aplin's cover version, but it's the group's community worker who proves to have the definitive rendition. What could have been a throwaway joke actually works. It's a good performance of a great song. I would certainly rather see that than the stupid emotional blackmail buy-our-crap snowmen from John Lewis.
The curious case of Alex and his disappearing dong is well-handled by the show – even if it is just a redo of an episode from last year (the one with Rudy and the super-powered STD). Where you might expect it to be an excuse for breaking out the phallic thesaurus (as I may have possibly used this recap as a front for) it's actually done with an odd sense of pathos and sympathy. This makes for a less funny episode than usual (a recurring problem in Series Four) but Alex's encounter with the schlong-stealer is a surprisingly subtle affair. Well, as subtle as Misfits could ever be, anyway. The lack of an overriding arc is beginning to hurt this series, which just seems a little aimless and lost. We begin with Jess and Alex making a go of things despite his obvious issues, and it looks as though things just might work out for this year’s love birds. Of course, it can’t last, and so desperate is Alex to restore what’s his that he ends up going a little bit mental. Seemingly spurred on by his relationship with Jess, he finally discovers the whereabouts of the thief and goes after them with a gun. Jess finds him just in time, but it looks like getting his manhood back might have been the worst thing to happen for their relationship. Their closing love scene is a creepy show of narcissism that comes as quite a surprise.
Alex is now one of the regular misfits, so my guess is that things won’t stay this way, but his behaviour gives us a good idea of what he was like before the incident. It looks like poor Jess is in for some more heartbreak in next week’s finale, but maybe Finn will be there to pick up the pieces? Obviously meant to be the white knight who saves her in the end, I don’t actually think the two of them are a good match and wouldn’t necessarily want to see them together. Jess is a good enough character to work on her own, with or without the tedious love triangle she’s been dealing with since her introduction.
Rudy has his own lady problems, as Nadine turns up at the community centre for a visit. Meeting her at last week’s party before she mysteriously ran for the hills, this is one mystery we’ll have to wait until next week to properly solve. Its clear romance is blossoming, and I really hope the character development it's given Rudy isn’t completely forgotten about once the storyline is over, but the course of true love never did run smooth. Nadine is a nun and, from the previews for next week, it looks as if her entire nunnery has been affected by the storm. Evil nuns! That sounds like a great episode.
We’re still not seeing the characters use their powers enough, but Finn does at least manage to spill a cup of tea this week. He does it to help new girl Abby, who it seems doesn’t have any sort of power to call her own, but who has lost her memory instead. That’s a pretty raw deal, but it might help if she at least had some sort of personality. There’s really nothing to go on, except the fact that she’s desperate for a family, and is now a fully-fledged community service worker thanks to Finn’s woolly-headed scheme to keep himself out of trouble. A sub-plot sees a teen mum’s unborn baby transferred to her, but she eventually gives it back with a promise that she’ll take care of it from now on.Gilgun has been brilliant throughout this series, carrying the show on his own for the most part. In relation to the newbies, Karla Crome fills the role of the deadpan Asbo teen well enough and her straight-faced delivery is good but Jess is no Alisha.
Meanwhile Finn’s cringeworthy, bumbling personality has been far from endearing and has proven to be downright annoying, if anything he deserves to be smacked around the face each week. This is not a reflection on Nathan McMullen who shows that he does have promise, particularly from his moving performance in the episode involving Finn’s dad.
Then there is Matt Stokoe as Alex ‘from the bar’ who has been so-so – there is room to develop his character further. The only real shining light of promise has been Natasha O’Keeffe as Abbey, who is as equally as deadpan as Jess but in a more nonchalant manner. Understandably, the new members of the cast all had big shoes to fill and they do all give it their best shot, unfortunately it can’t match their predecessors.
In a Misfits’ first even the probation officer made it through the series without meeting a sticky end. As suggested by his rendition of The Power of Love last week, Greg too has suffered from heartbreak and would metaphorically – one hopes – crawl naked through broken glass and canine defecation to tell the person he loves how he feels or something along those lines. Greg’s vulnerability is what makes him interesting as a character and more watchable. Sean Dooley has done well throughout and it feels as if the audience is just starting to get to know him and in a weird way even like him.
As finales go this week was uninspiring to say the least, with more hackneyed, self-referential dialogue. The vain attempts to elicit laughter through gratuitous, meaningless sex and violence fell flat. Yes, there is still the clever mix of irony and drama but it’s just not the same anymore. It feels like a diet version of the programme – a sort of Misfits lite with none of the rich flavour of the original, instead viewers are treated to something full of cheap substitutes and additives that fail to hit the spot in quite the same way as before.
The fourth series could never live up to the brilliance of the first two series. Series three was good and had some undeniably fantastic moments but with the loss of most of the original cast in series four it was nigh impossible to carry on. The problem was that the show had a winning formula but with each departure the series was weakened.
