Michael is ranting to Debbie about Julie. Debbie says that it's a natural conclusion to jump to (having found Michael with syringes) and that Michael should just tell her they're Danni's. He doesn't want to, but Debbie points out that it's the only way Danni will be able to get help.

Just then, Phil storms in (Julie must have rung him)

PHIL: Michael! We have to talk!
DEBBIE: Dad, hang on...
PHIL: You keep out of this, Debbie, I want to hear your side of it.

He points at Michael.

MICHAEL: That'd make a nice change(!)
DEBBIE:(to Michael) You tell him, or I will.
PHIL: What?!
MICHAEL:(sighs) It's Danni.
PHIL: What?
JULIE: Danni? Oh...really?
DEBBIE: It's true. All the kids know about her. Michael was just trying to help her. They're her syringes, not his.

Phil looks rather relieved.

Phil and Michael have come to have a conversation with Cheryl about "Danni and drugs". Michael apologises to Danni for ratting her out, but says it's for her own good.

PHIL: Rick Alessi caught Danni shooting up. All the kids at school know about it, apparently. I'm really sorry, but I thought you should know about it.

Cheryl is stunned. Presently, she turns her head to look at Danni.

CHERYL: Danni, on drugs...? Well, yes, she is on drugs. And I know all about it.
PHIL:(shocked) You know?
CHERYL: Yes, it's insulin.
PHIL:(looking at Michael) Insulin?!
CHERYL: Danni's a diabetic, didn't she tell you, Michael?
MICHAEL: No, she didn't. You've made me look a real fool, why didn't you tell me?
DANNI:(guiltily) I...

She runs from the room. Phil apologises to Cheryl but she says Danni should be the one to apologise.

MICHAEL: You made me look like a compolete idiot, now you're saying you're sorry!

He walks off.
