 The firemen put out the blaze, and carry out Matthew to his anxious mother. The police are immediately suspicious about the matches found near him. That night, Robbie has a vivid nightmare about the thugs involved with the pub brawl. Aichaa s mother gives her an interrogation about her friendship with Robbie. News of Matthew s arson gets back to school, and Mr. Mackenzie goes to visit the Pearsons. It becomes apparent Matthew set fire to the hotel in order that the council would re-house his family. Mike gets an early copy of the local paper - courtesy of the eager Mr. Hargreaves - with his photo prominent. Mike buys one of the specially made t-shirts with a caricature of the Deputy Head on it in retaliation. Mr. Robson sees and it is confiscated. A rumour starts spreading that Miss Booth has been sacked. A fight breaks out in the canteen and Mr. Robson intervenes, but he is berated by Mr Hargreaves who tells him that he had it under control. As the PE teacher leaves, the Deputy Head notices the cruel caricature on the t-shirt, and insists the t-shirt printing service comes to an end. The caretaker gets grief because of the destroyed eggs, and passes the buck onto Trevor, who he suspects was involved. In turn, Trevor keeps an ear out, and learns about Jacko and his friends being present on the Saturday. Tegs has a chat with Matthew, and is impressed by him being in trouble with the law. Chrissy breaks the bad news to her team that the t-shirt business has to end. They also discuss hearing about Miss Booth being sacked - but she s behind a bookcase listening in horror. She asks Mrs. McClusky about it - and is placated by the Head who tells her she is a most valued member of staff. Mr. Mackenzie takes Matthew home, and meets the family who are preparing to move to another dingy hotel. Rod, thanks to Trevor s detective work, finds out that Brian, Jacko and Locko were the ones who damaged the boxes of eggs. The caretaker threatens going to the kids  parents unless they pay, but Brian counterattacks, convinced that the white van that brought the dodgy eggs was also the one responsible for kidnapping Jacko s dog, and saying that he ll call the police. Feeling pleased at getting one over on Rod, the kids leave school - and then there s a happy surprise as Jacko finds his dog waiting at the school gates. It s not so good for Robbie though, when he s out with Aichaa: he bumps into soccer hooligan, Derek, and finds himself promising to meet up with the gang at the weekend...
