Newt, Theresa, Lauren and Anita find themselves in an all-day detention on their last day at school before exams. Fuming to find themselves incarcerated, they reluctantly head to the classroom to begin their punishment. Nancy's charged with supervising the unruly mob and as they begin to give her stick, she leaves before her tears begin to flow.
Alone and unsupervised, the gloves come off and Anita and Lauren are soon caught up in a vicious attack on each other. As the fight escalates, Newt throws water over Theresa. When the situation dissipates, an awkward truce is reached when Theresa reveals to the group that Anita bleached her skin. As realisation dawns how much Anita has been affected by the bullying, the friends unite - until Lauren lets slip that she was actually responsible for bullying Anita all along.
Newt's appalled and leads the furore, but Anita surprises everyone by offering an olive branch, telling Newt and Theresa that she's forgiven Lauren, so they should too. Friendships fully restored, the gang are delighted when Nancy announces they've completed their detention and they head into their half term break re-united.

Devastated, Michaela flees, leaving Zoe feeling even worse than she already did. Confronting Zak about the kiss with Zoe, a devastated Michaela sees no other option than to break up with him. Valiantly fighting his corner, Zak insists that Zoe came on to him, but Michaela can't forgive him and leaves Zak heartbroken…

As Harry bandies the grenade about and the pin falls to the floor, Dom runs out into the village, leaving a panic stricken Tony behind. Spreading himself over the grenade, Tony waits for the explosion. Thankfully it never arrives as it transpires that the grenade's actually a toy. Filled with utter respect for his dad, Tony's thrilled to finally be a hero in his son's eyes…
