In the first programme, the group met and shared their experiences of what it's like to be transgender. Now they're back at home and applying what they've learned from each other in their everyday lives.
Sarah faces one of the landmarks faced by every transgender person: telling her family that she intends to spend the rest of her life as a woman.
She's tried before and lacked the courage to go through with it because she fears they may disown her. Now with the support of her friends, she's resolved to go through with it.
Lewis came out as a man three years ago. 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 and genitals.
He wants to find out about the surgery that's available - even after he finds out that the NHS has turned down his application for funding. And getting information about surgery is difficult, so Lewis is looking forward to the second retreat to see the results that both top and lower surgery can give him.
Drew's still stuck at home; since her male to female transition five years ago, she's barely gone out without her mum. Not only does she lack friends, but she also lacks a career and without that she won't be able to afford the boob job she needs.
At the moment, her cleavage is achieved with the help of four bras and 'chicken fillets'. The trouble is that, as a transgender woman, every time she applies for a job she's turned down.
Will Sarah be able to tell her mum that she's found true happiness as a woman? What will Lewis be able to find out about surgery, and will Drew be able to convince an employer to give her a job?
