Fleeting success at rugby

 

Episode 1, run time 17.00

Under Nick's tutelage and encouragement, we see Charlie enjoying some success on the rugby pitch and gaining a sense of satisfaction from it, evidenced by his smile.

There's camaraderie in the dressing room. The guy celebrating with Charlie on the right of the still is Christian Mcbride, who pops-up occasionally in series one with minor spoken parts and appears to be more welcoming of Charlie - and less homophobic - than Harry Greene. 

Charlie's rugby career fails to progress, but I've included this sequence as a Heartstopper Moment because it stands in contrast to Charlie's general experience of team sport, both before and after. Treated with respect, for a while, Charlie blossoms in the company of 'bro dudes', as Tao calls them!
