- Wayne takes heavy handed action against Ray's café. When Gemma learns that her parents want to divorce, and she won't be able to stay with her dad, she packs her bags and leaves. New girl Becky causes a stir among the Sixth Form boys.
- "Get rid of the scum who killed Judi Jeffries", reads the poster Ray finds in his café. Ray tells Wayne, who is picketing outside, to leave or he'll call the police. Gemma's in a funny mood, perhaps related to the news that her mother is coming to visit. There's a few new arrivals, and late returning people - Arnie and Mrs. Holmes are back, and there's a new stunning Sixth Form girl, Becky, studying fashion, who immediately grabs the attention of Arnie, Nathan, Colin and Kamal. A wager is set - a fiver for the one who gets to snog her first. Gemma is surprisingly outspoken when presented by Mrs. Holmes with a History test, objecting to the lack of warning. Her friends show no sympathy: she tells Cracker that he's like Henry the Eighth - he has a disregard for women, and he's always stuffing his face. Mr. Robson tells Wayne that must stop harassing people about Alec, and he must go and see the bereavement counsellor. Gemma explains a little of her home life to Matt: how her mother lives with a boyfriend and his children and how when she sees her mother it reawakens the hope of them reuniting. Talking about it makes Gemma upset and she runs off, bumping into Mrs. Holmes. When Gemma talks a little about her home life, the teacher suggests she puts on a brave face for her mother, perhaps cook a meal. At lunch, the boys all have an attempt to sit with Becky and Dill, but no-one's completely successful. Wayne has counselling session, but he hears Ray talking to Mr. Robson outside, and storms off, angry that Ray continues to support Alec. When Ray returns to his café later, he finds Wayne writing "murderer" on the window in red paint. Ray's beaten - "enough's enough," he says, not meaning Alec, who misinterprets the message and walks away. In the evening, Gemma takes on board Mrs. Holmes's advice and makes dinner in preparation for her mother's arrival. Between courses, Gemma's mother tells her that she's come over because she and Gemma's father are getting a divorce. It transpires though that the end of the marriage isn't the only problem - Gemma's father is going to have to work abroad for long stretches, so Gemma will likely have to stay with her mother. In the middle of the night, Gemma picks up her bag and leaves the house.—Geffers
