Recap
Nicky is shocked that Scott is going to cheat in the maths exam. She stresses that there is no way he is going to be able to smuggle a book into the exam. Scott replies he isn't going to; he is going to take the formulas on his wrist. He continues that it isn't really cheating it is just a safety measure, she said herself that he knew the formulas. Nicky insists that the supervisor won't think so if he catches him. Nicky pleads with Scott. Unknown to both of them the whole conversation has been overheard by Sue who smiles vindictively.
Charlene is walking down the steps and asks Sue sarcastically if "Daddy is going to make sure that they pass her" Sue replies at least she has a father...Charlene charges up the steps to thump her but is held back by Mike and Jane who think it isn't worth it.
Shortly after they meet up with Nicky who is looking rather despondent, she explains that Scott has finally flipped out and about his intensions to cheat in the exam. They are dismayed by his intended actions. Charlene feels that there is no way she is going to let him do that, but Nicky replies that Scott won't listen to Charlene and stops her from going to see him. Nicky thinks Mike is the only one who could talk some sense into Scott and that Scott has a lot on his mind at the moment. Charlene whines that they shouldn't all look at her she wasn't the one to break it off. Mike doesn't answer her but rushes off to talk to Scott.

Erinsborough High
Sue is telling Mr. White (teacher) about Scott writing the formula on his wrist and that he is going to cheat in the exam. Mr. White replies that these are serious allegations. Sue feels that it is for Scott's own good as how will he feel for the rest of his life if he knew he only got through his HFC by cheating in the exam. Mr. White comments that Sue doesn't get along with Scott's friends. Sue replies that that has nothing to do with it and no one should he allowed to get away with cheating.

Mrs. Mangel walks into Paul's office and asks to have a word with him.

Mrs. Mangel then concludes that she is going to be retrenched (made redundant) and continues that it is no matter than she has worked her fingers to the bone...She is interrupted by Paul. Paul reminds Mrs. Mangel that she knew that the job was only temporary. Mrs. Mangel sneers that she knew that but only until Madge had completed her course and Madge had chosen her family over a career. Paul interrupts her again and tells her that Madge's reasons are her own and if she wants to apply for the job she can. Mrs. Mangel is far from happy and continues that if he wasn't happy with her work he should have said so. Paul explains that he is looking for the best applicant for the job and that may turn out to be her. Mrs. Mangel bites back that he is probably looking for some young bright thing, Paul smiles and ponders that thought but continues that is not necessarily so and if she wants to apply then she can add her name to the list and that they will waive the interview for her as he doesn't see it is necessary. Mrs. Mangel replies that is exactly what she has been saying.
Outside Lassiters
Mrs. Mangel is walking back to Lassiters when Shane rides up on his motor bike. Mrs. Mangel accuses him of trying to kill her. Shane doesn't think that is likely as he was hardly going fast enough.

As she turns around there is no one at all outside the Coffee Shop! To cover up she continues - "You see they have all had to go inside because of the noise." Shane is not impressed. Mrs. Mangel continues that this is not the place for a noisy bike. Shane points out that this is a delivery path and his bike was delivering him to work. Mrs. Mangel is far from happy and tells Shane that in future he must use his delivery van and not his bike. Shane points out that Mrs. Mangel is not in charge of him; his contract is with Paul. Mrs. Mangel then informs Shane that she hopes that Paul docks him for being five minutes late and she will inform Paul of the fact.

Scott replies that it is all very well but he is feeling a bit shaky. Mr. White suggests that he takes some deep breaths and walks slowly to the exam room.
Walking to the exam room Mike says to Scott that he thought he was sprung then. Scott explains that he was going to cheat but when it came down to it he just couldn't do it, but when he finds the person who "dobbed" him in, then there life isn't going to be worth living!
Paul's office
Susan is rather subdued and tells Paul that she had finished sending out the letters for the unsuccessful applications and that there are two more interviews. Paul comments that the last one was bit of a dragon and could have out-Mangeled Mrs. Mangel. Susan apologizes if she should have given her an interview. Paul says that it wasn't a criticism; Susan feels that maybe she has been a bit too sensitive at the moment and should have been more understanding. Paul accepts the apology and asks her out to lunch but makes it clear that he only wants to be "friends" He doesn't want to get her hopes up. Susan declines the offer and looks very downhearted.
