 Randir, a Sikh who s just started at the school, wants to try for the football team, but his father would prefer he helps in the shop on Saturday. At registration, he joins in the general discussion about the wrong options being given, and Gripper takes a dislike to him. Gripper continues to make cows eyes at Clare. Suzanne is up in arms - the school magazine has been cancelled. Gripper has a council of war with his two henchmen - they are fascinated by Randir s turban. Suzanne s attempt to speak to Mrs McClusky about her options backfires with a flea in her ear about her clothing and jewellery. Gripper s gang ambushes Randir, but is interrupted by Clare and Suzanne. He is happy to turn his attention onto Clare, but she is rescued by Stewpot and Duane, and a fight ensues, followed by a chase through the school.
