 Mr. Griffiths is horrified to find that the school s bottle recycling is going to be open to members of the public. Jacko s gang plan to go and watch Mike run up in Edinburgh. Alice and Becky get Julie Corrigan to look after their bags, and then do their disappearing trick - through a secret door in the toilets into a crawl space behind the wall. As a protest, the second formers are deliberately slow in the canteen queue - and then Akik wants to pay for his dinner in all pennies! Mr. Robson agrees that Georgina can go to Edinburgh - but to her annoyance, the school won t pay for her ticket. Alice and Becky go exploring in the crawlspace and find themselves about the Head s office. Lifting up a ceiling tile, they hear Mrs. McClusky say that if the canteen protests worsen then they will have to take some action. They spread the word that they want a large-scale protest the next day in the canteen. Jacko and Brian are rather unsuccessful in their aim to get stuff for their expedition to Edinburgh - getting the wrong types of map books, and the wrong types of compasses (the sort you need for geometry!) - but they are put to shame by Locko, who has sold his remote-controlled car to get funds. Mrs Monroe gets her class to start collecting and sorting paper for recycling - but it turns out to be a harder and messier job than they imagined. Richard has been telling Matthew about the smuggling he s seen from the vantage of his tree house. Tegs doesn t believe a word of it though. A peaceful protest is held in the canteen - with no-one ordering food - but Trevor and Ted go off for a pizza instead. He makes friends with the restaurant owners, and finds out they come from Halifax. Meanwhile, back at school, Mrs. McClusky visits the canteen and hears the grievances of the protesters. She has a meeting with the head of catering - and an increase in portions is agreed - to the delight of Becky and Alice listening from their hidey-hole above. Georgina falls out with Calley - Georgina moans about how Mike s training gets in the way of their relationship, but Calley thinks she should just be grateful she has him. Up in Richard s tree-house, Matthew and Nick see the "Smugglers" coming in to their neighbour s back garden. They watch as two suspicious men put boxes away into the garden shed...
