 After Liam s funeral Justine sits alone, dressed in black on a bench outside the church... At school, the Year Sevens are given a task to find out where energy is wasted in the school, and where it is being environmentally unfriendly. Techno and Spanner investigate the paper in the loos, but they are intercepted by the Cigarette Gang. Afterwards, they take Mr. Griffiths to task over the timing of the school heating which comes on at 7.00 AM and his inefficient light bulbs. The girls for their part interview the school secretary, who isn t particularly helpful, and they watch her make personal phone calls while they wait for her precious time. Meanwhile, there are some smart boys wandering the school who turn up in the Office. They seem to have been expected, and walk around the school, finding the boys toilets in a grim mess after Grimbo and Mick s gang have left their mark - the toilets filled with paper, the sinks filthy. Richard, secretly observed by Nick, seems to be talking to himself like raving madman - he s practising asking Natasha out, and working through the possible scenarios. When it comes to the crunch though, she doesn t follow his script, and he s no further forward with her. Diane and her friends leave the Secretary s Office with all they needed - having noted that the Secretary wasted half an hour on the phone on a personal call. The boys rather over-zealously find waste in the staff room - the kettle doesn t switch off when it boils. The outsiders turn out to be public schoolboys on a visit to the school - they sit in on a special meeting to discuss a new edition of the newspaper, given dispensation by Mrs. Keele. The Cigarette Gang return to the scene of their crime, ready to do it all again to the toilets - but Ray is watching, and puts his oar in, but he s no match for all of them at once. At Ms. Janowitz s newspaper meeting, Justine surprises everyone by turning up. She has only one thing she wants to write a story about - gang culture, but the teacher vetoes it, thinking it not the right time. It s put to vote, under pressure from Justine, but there s not enough support. Instead, Ms. Janowitz wants Justine to interview Luke, a public school pupil. She has no enthusiasm initially, but then Luke expresses his admiration for how Justine argued her point, and she s won over. Luke suggests she does her article as for an underground issue of the newspaper. Back in the loos, and unsatisfied with just making a mess, Mick and Grimbo s gang decide to do some real damage to the plumbing. Unfortunately their incompetence and clumsiness cause them all to get a thorough soaking! After the meeting, Ray confides in Justine that he knows that Ms. Janowitz erased her tape - he found Justine s notebook in the teacher s bag - he s siding with Justine, because he s lost faith in Ms. Janowitz s ability to be impartial...
