- Tom asks Leah out, Mr. Hankin gives a lecture against smoking, and a meeting about a black refugee sparks off a racist conflict against Nathan and Briony.
- Mr. Hankin continues to suspect Danny Hartson of peddling cigarettes to the younger years. Mrs. Holmes denies she knows any young men, when asked by Miss Carver. Josh seems convinced that the builders' danger signs are to warn against dangerous spiders, rather than Martin's pragmatic view that it is because of the flooding having weakened the plasterwork. Mr. Hankin sets the task of catching as many different species of spiders as possible - the boys think they will win easily, but Maddie reminds them that the basement will be full of them. Claire falls out with Briony over the support of a black refugee, implying that Briony lives in a cozy world. Shannon convinces Leah that she's seeing Danny Hartson - perhaps she even believes it himself. Meanwhile, Danny pops into Mr. Hankin's anti-smoking lecture, but then observes there to be too few people there, so rounds up various likely candidates, such as the male components of the ex-Double Dare Gang, and Kathy and Shona. Mr. Hankin gives a very graphic illustration of the perils of smoking, painting a dire picture of heart surgery, and a lifetime's worth of tar. Martin knows over a tray of cutlery in the canteen in his eagerness to get to a spider - it turns out to be plastic (one of Darren's), but when he shows it to Mrs. Holmes, she backs away arachnaphobically. Mr. Hankin's lectures don't seem to have much effect, and Danny once again buys back cigarettes from Ozzie's young customers. Vikki asks why he doesn't just inform on Ozzie, but he tells her that he doesn't grass. After countless failed attempts, Tom finally manages to ask Leah out. Josh feigns hurting his leg in order to get close to Vikki - later he gives her sweets, and limps on the wrong leg. After school, Mr. Hankin catches Danny with cigarettes again, once more taken from Ozzie, and they both get detention. There's a meeting to discuss what happens with the black refugee, but it turns into a shambles, with heavily racist barbs made by both sides, even Nathan getting grief because his girlfriend Briony is Asian. Afterwards, Nathan finds some white yobs blocking his path, eager for some aggro. One of them takes a swipe, and is surprised when Nathan thumps him back, then he and Briony run off. After a chase, the two are almost caught, but manage to escape by hiding in a skip. Mr. Hankin persuades Kelly to have a go at the comedy workshop, but she's nervous at first. Afterwards, Mr. Hankin finds a note on his windscreen - "Watch Your Back", it says...—Geffers
