THE
STORY SO FAR...
The whole school gathered in a special
assembly, where Mrs Bassinger read extracts for Alex's video
diary. She reminded everyone the school would not tolerate bullying
- and those who failed to say anything were as guilty as the
perpetrators. Tigger and Ed felt guilty for making fun of Alex;
Chloe was unrepentant. Alex's mum brought him to school. Ms
Lawrence welcomed him but everyone stared as he walked through
the corridor to Mrs Bassinger's office.
Mooey was excluded - possibly for good.
The Wannabees turned on the waterworks as the headmistress
tore strips off them. Mrs Bassinger ordered them to write
letters of apology to Alex. The chill seemed to be thawing
between Baz and Maddie - Baz suggested Maddie cleared the
air with Karen - but she was having none of it.
Karen pressured Tanya for a decision about
the e-mail. Annie urged Tanya to speak up. By now Karen had
told Mrs Bassinger, who informed the police. They discovered
the e-mail was probably genuine; but needed the girl to come
forward. Kat congratulated Spencer for saving Alex's life but
he blamed himself for everything. Kathy took charge as the film
was behind schedule. Dawn found herself taking the part of a
girl who'd been taken ill. Andy signed up for the mentoring
scheme saying he'd do a better job with Alex - overheard by
a passing Spencer.
Alison was hurt that Alex tried to take
his life - why couldn't he have talked to her? She urged Alex
to stand up for himself - and learn to like himself. Dawn
confronted Andrea and forced the gang to apologise to Alex.
Chloe didn't mean a word of it. The Wannabees found they'd
been volunteered for Ms Lawrence's Community Cohesion Project.
Spencer caught up with Alex and apologised
for letting him down. He invited Alex along to help with the
film - Alex was delighted and Spencer felt much better. Kat
told him filming was complete and Mrs Bassinger wanted a premiere
for the film. Alex's day ended with friendships cemented with
Tigger, Ed and Alison. Taylor walked out of revision classes
and told Mrs Bassinger he didn't want to do any GCSEs. Mrs
Bassinger urged him to sit things out - but Taylor wanted
to go out and "find something he was good at".
As Year 11's first exam approached, Baz
was more concerned with Annie and Karen with Tanya. Tanya finalized
plans to meet Lucy. Annie counted a large envelope full of money
in the toilets, almost caught out my Miss Adams. She despaired
as the money wasn't enough - then she found a ring someone had
left behind. Baz saw her offer it to two girls.
Kat announced plans for a Hollywood-style
premiere on Radio Grange Hill. Kathy invited Spencer to her
place and he accepted, much to her delight. Dawn and Martin
discovered there were scenes missing. Kat was furious. Kathy
arrived and was upset to learn Spencer had spent time at the
other girls' houses. Spencer confessed he'd lost the missing
scenes. Alex suggested they shoot a bridging scene to explain
the gap - and that Spencer faced the music. Dawn and Kat angrily
confronted Spencer - humbled, he offered to explain all to
Mrs Bassinger if they couldn't finish on time.
Year 9 got their SATs results; everyone
did well apart from Abel, whose marks were poor. Miss Adams
was not pleased and Togger was furious Abel was apparently
getting away with everything. Togger wasted no time volunteering
himself as a ticket-seller for the premiere - when he heard
the prize for selling the most tickets would be to hob-nob
with the stars.
At lunchtime, Abel was catching up on
work. He told Andy he was struggling to cope with his schedule.
Andy tried putting Abel's case to Togger, but Togger was fed
up with playing second fiddle and declared their friendship
over. The time came for Tanya's meeting and she was getting
last-minute nerves - before Lucy approached her in the playground.
Trembling, Lucy revealed how she met "Ben" online
and they arranged to go to a McFly concert. Ben never showed
up - but his "uncle" did and bundled Lucy in his
van.
Kathy walked in on Spencer and Kat's
passionate embrace -but was embarrassed to discover this was
a rehearsal for the bridging scene. As she went off in tears,
Spencer was stunned to learn of Kathy's feelings towards him.
Annie let Abel borrow her homework - the money fell out of
her bag and was picked up by the cleaners. Annie was frantic;
Baz watched as Annie frantically searched for the missing
cash. But it was nowhere - Annie crumpled in the corner as
her search proved fruitless.
Togger offered two tickets for the price
of one; Malachay caught them in the act and confiscated their
tickets. Karen pointed Lucy out to Mrs Bassinger; Lucy was
furious and thought she'd been set up. Tanya tried and failed
to convince her otherwise; Lucy said she'd spotted Simon's
house. The police arrived as Lucy tried to leave; eventually,
Tanya persuaded her to tell all.
