 Ronnie "borrows" ten pounds from her mother (without her knowing) for the Hip-hop competition. At the launderette Ziggy gives the non-functioning drinks machine a thump and it maliciously squirts coffee all over his trousers. He simply adds it to the already full load, incurring further wrath from the launderette helper, who s not pleased to find shoes being dried. At the shopping precinct, while waiting for Fiona, Ronnie sees Calley and others shoplifting - it s all part of the ongoing dares between the girls. Meanwhile Laura has got dressed up for a special dinner party at home. Laura s old friend Julia, tanned after a trip abroad, turns up. Ronnie and Fiona wait for Gonch s dad to turn up with transport for their equipment, for the Hip-hop competition, but he turns up with a rag and bone man s horse and cart! At the Fun House, various people from Grange Hill arrive, including Trevor, and Mauler and his gang, and the competition gets underway. At Laura s party, although there is something of an age divide at the meal, things seem to be going fairly well. Julia offers to do the washing up - Simon comes into the kitchen - and then makes a pass at her. Julia tells Laura, but they keep quiet about the incident, and Julia finds her own way home. Back at the Hip-hop competition, Fresh and Fly take their turn, and then the winner is judged - the girls don t win, and there s disbelief from Gonch and the rest who realize that they won t be paid. Everyone makes a hasty exit before either Wesley or the Rag and Bone man notice.
