 Mike and Robbie arrive at court and wait nervously to be called. Miss Booth is surprised to find that the first form girls already know of her plans to run the marathon. Tegs is trying to make his mind up who he should stay with - his foster parents, his real mum, or his dad. At court, Robbie encounters an angry Derek, who tells him he is a grass, and that he ll see him later. Tegs goes round to see his Dad - the place is a bit minimalist. After the court case, Mike and Robbie get ready to leave, but there are some upset people out for revenge skulking about. As Mike goes for a leak, Trevor and Mauler turn up to give Robbie some rather late moral support. In the toilet, as Mike leaves, there s two thugs waiting for him, but his dad s in earshot. At school, everyone gets in the minibus to see Mike run his race - but it is not the world s most reliable vehicle and its occupants have to get out and push. At the racetrack, Mike runs his race well, but he s pipped at the post. He s despondent, but his dad has good news for him - he has run the second fastest time, and has made it through to the English Schools  Team!
