Helen thinks that Hannah may be able to help with her enquiries. Susan puts two and two together and gets Toadie!

Pub

LOU: Must be nice to be away from the kids!

PHIL: Nothing thinly- veiled about it!

School
Toadie, Lance and Hannah have collected up 18 of the 20 pictures. They say they'll just have to pray that Lisa doesn't see either of the remaining two.

But in class, one of the kids has made a paper aeroplane from one of the pictures and throws it at Lisa. She demands to know who it was and looks very upset. The kids just laugh. Toadie looks very guilty as Lisa walks out.

In the office, Lisa shows Susan the picture and says the kids don't like her. She says she's been trying her best to be a good teacher, but the kids don't want her. Susan tells her to calm down - this is the awful part of teaching. She's been taught strategies for dealing with bad behaviour, she needs to go back and continue the class.

When Lisa gets back to the class, it's chaos. She takes one look and turns around.

Back in the office, Lisa tells Susan she can't do it. Susan says she has to, but Lisa says she can't - she's hopeless at discipline.

SUSAN: You're the teacher.
LISA: When kids play up I just go to pieces. Could you please come back to the classroom with me?
SUSAN: Lisa, that is not the best way to handle this situation...
LISA: Just this once. Please.

Susan returns with Lisa and shouts for quiet. Everyone sits down, and Susan sends one student to her office.

When Susan has gone, the class start laughing again. Lisa looks very stressed.

Susan's office
SUSAN: How dare you!
TOADIE: We honestly tried to get them all back.
HANNAH: We weren't ignoring you.
TOADIE: Yeah, Hannah tried to warn Lance this morning, she did.
SUSAN:(to Lance) So, it's your fault.
HANNAH: Yeah, it is!
TOADIE: No, it isn't.

Susan tells them that they've hurt a very caring teacher and gives them detention for two weeks, yard duty, and an apology to Lisa.

Coffee Shop
Lance, Toadie and Hannah think that they actually got off quite lightly with Susan.

HANNAH: I just hope Dad doesn't find out.
TOADIE: Yeah, bye- bye Hannie- babes!

Lance goes to buy milkshakes from Debbie.

DEBBIE: Lance! I've had a very scary thought about you. If our parents get married, I could end up being your big sister!
LANCE: What?
DEBBIE: Our parents. They seem to be getting along very well these days.
LANCE: Ah, yeah, tell me about it.
DEBBIE: You don't sound too happy?
LANCE: Ah, I don't know. What do you reckon?
DEBBIE: Honestly?
LANCE: Yeah.
DEBBIE: I think they might be making a bit of a mistake. I mean, it's not long after your mum's divorce and can you see all of us living together?
LANCE: Come on, you don't think it's got that far, do you?
DEBBIE: Well, not yet. It might...

No.26
Ruth calls around to see Phil. He invites her to go to the movies, but Ruth tells him that Debbie doesn't want them going out. Phil is shocked. Phil says that maybe Lance is using Debbie as an excuse. Ruth takes offence.

RUTH: It seems like your daughter is trying to undermine our relationship. Now, if you can't deal with that, then I think we have a problem.
PHIL: Well, if you're going to continue to be manipulated by a jealous son, perhaps we do!
