- Mr. Robson's romantic aspirations have a momentary knock back at Martha's Thanksgiving dinner, Anna locks Mrs. Monroe in the toilets and Jacko sets an aim of taking his sick mum to the seaside.
- Arnie's football accidentally hits Mr. Robson, who light-heartedly kicks the ball himself, followed by the arriving Martha Jordan who seems rather good at soccer. Justine encounters the disinterested cleaner in the toilet, and gets grief for wanting to make the place look better. Jacko brings a photo album in for his mother, who is very pleased to see him. She reminisces about her childhood briefly, mentioning the sea, then insists Jacko goes to school. When Jacko meets up with Becky, he tells her that he'd like to take her mother to the sea - to Southwold, in Suffolk. Justine talks to Mrs. Keele about the state of the toilets and her unhappy meeting with the cleaner. Mrs. Keele makes an arrangement to have the toilets locked. Shortly after, the cleaner gives the caretaker an earful, because she's been given the sack. Year 11 start to get some enthusiasm for the drama workshop version of Romeo and Juliet that Martha is starting, and preparing audition pieces. Marion, the cleaner gives Mrs. Keele a piece of her mind, telling about how little she is paid, and adding more to the Head's already distressed state, all overheard by a troubled Justine. Outside the loos, a bunch of girls have gathered trying to get into the locked door, and it takes the sanity of Julie Corrigan to explain they need the key from the office. While Julie goes off for the key, Anna steps in, and takes control, leading the girls, like the Pied Piper, to the boys toilet. Martha and Jessica hold auditions: Lauren reads with confidence, but Dudley is a little over confident. When Anna gets back to the girls' toilets, Julie gives her the keys, with instructions to take it to the office. Instead, she goes to the other toilet and locks it, delightedly hearing that Mrs. Monroe is inside. Back at the audition, Julie's piece is rather appositely about keys. Later the results are posted - Brian is to play Romeo, and Jessica has chosen Juliet for herself. Jacko visits his mum, and takes her to a café, but she gets scared at being outside, and asks to go home again. Mr. Robson goes round to Martha's place for her Thanksgiving dinner, and finds Justine there. Then to his dismay, another male turns up, Scott, who seems on rather friendlier terms with Martha than he had expected. There's a little friction between the two men, but then in the kitchen Martha explains that Scott is her cousin. Justine and Scott leave, then there's just Mr. Robson and Martha left. Mr. Robson makes his excuses, kisses Martha on the cheek and leaves. Then, there's a knock at the door, and he's back again to make it clear he'd rather not go, but for the early start tomorrow...—Geffers
