 On the last day of the school
year; Spencer has nothing to be joyous about - nothing happened between
him and Kathy and he can't see the point in starting a relationship
if he's leaving. Kat sets them up together but Spencer runs off when
Malachay appears - he faces incurring his wrath for the unofficial
DVD! The radio station wins second prize in a national school radio
competition. Abel turns up late for assembly - and is presented with
a merit award for his efforts at the academy. Abel is uneasy - he
has something important to tell Mr Malachay.
Annie receives a solicitor's letter regarding the credit card balance. She panics when Dad phones to say they'd rang up looking for her mum. She makes a few last desperate attempts at sales - and asks Baz and Maddie for money. In desperation she steals one of the school laptops - a teacher makes assumptions when an innocent Taylor walked by. Alex faces his fears and enters the swimming pool, joined by Alison. But it is Tigger who ends up the laughing stock - losing his trunks when he dives in! Baz is jealous of the blossoming friendship between Maddie and Martin - but Martin doesn't see it as anything more. Kat urges Malachay to go easy on Spencer; but he threatens to withdraw his reference for film school. Abel stuns Andy and Togger by revealing he's quit the academy, valuing his friendship with them more. The rift with Togger heals right away. Malachay is furious when Abel tells him; he feels badly let down and refuses to let Abel play in the school match.

The ruse works - Abel scores the winning goal! Martin asks Maddie if she wanted to go out with him; she lets him down gently. He is actually relieved but lets slip Baz's feelings. Maddie mentions to Baz Annie had tried to borrow money - Baz catches Annie with the laptop and demands an explanation. Annie confesses all about the credit card. Malachay eventually catches up with Spencer - far from tearing strips off him, Malachay announces the film had been put forward for a national competition. Malachay congratulates Spencer and wishes him all the best at film school. He even apologises for "forcing his ideas on him"!Taylor announces he won't be coming back and Karen urges him to change his mind.

Spencer catches Kathy just as she is leaving - they fall into each other's arms. The police arrive at the school gates and Mrs Bassinger pulls up Taylor just as he is leaving. Taylor protests his innocence as he is led away by the police. Baz and Annie try returning the laptop but str caught red-handed.
