Episode 1
Togger and Tigger pelt each other with soaked towels. All the toilets are flooded, and the plumbing seems to worsen as the day progresses. Tanya's gained a lot in the chest department - her inflatable bra falls foul of school rules, and Miss Adams tells her not to wear it any more. Togger is set to wind Tanya up, but instead they seem to be getting closer. Kathy and Karen make their first foray into the Sixth Form Common Room - the atmosphere is spoiled by the arrival of Max Humpries. Baz's happiness puzzles Maddie - then she sees him with a new girlfriend. She tries to talk to the girl, but finds her unresponsive. The girl explains that she is deaf - her name is Holly. Baz explains his home life to Holly, and to his surprise, she can't handle the picture he paints of sister Annie now living with her mother after a counseling session, and erratic father taking daily pills to keep calm - she walks away. The flooding and lack of usable toilets cause the day to be cut short - Mrs. Bassinger shuts the school for the day.
Episode 2
While portaloos provide a temporary solution to the plumbing problem, Chloe takes and sells toilet rolls to the Year 7's. Mrs. Bassinger announces a business venture competition with a £500 prize. Martin sees the portaloos as having great potential in producing energy from all the waste products. Tanya objects to the sexist P.E. kit for girls. Taylor eats humble pie and Mrs. Bassinger lets him back to do a BTech in music. Baz almost sweet talks Holly back, but Emma tells him that his mother's had a baby, and his fury at being the last to know is too much for Holly - she's gone when he looks round. Donnie dumps Eleanor for the sake of male camaraderie. Martin gets fed up with Maddie's bossy behaviour - he prints a message for her telling her their friendship is at an end. Chloe urgently needs "to go" - but Andrea and Sammy are all out of bog roll - would Chloe prefer her French, or her Physics exercise book?
Episode 3
Andy comes to school with a faint moustache. Togger tells him he looks ridiculous, but Emma says it makes him look older, and wins him over to help promote her Indonesian exchange idea. Alison has brought her own smart looking remote control car, and Mooey takes an interest. Alex uses Alison's eczema-flaky skin as a weapon against the bullies, for which she is greatly upset. Furthermore, when he makes flatulence noises in proximity of the Headmistress, Mrs. Bassinger promptly confiscates her car. Later, after a chat with Togger, he makes some reparations in their friendship. Maddie is still smarting from Martin's cold, detached dumping of her, while Martin adjusts his waste enterprise scheme to that of an incinerator. Kat and Dawn hit upon the idea of wedding DVD's. Baz saves deaf Holly from a reversing garbage truck, but she still refuses to get back together.

Togger finally gets his football shirt back from Tanya - it's become pink though, tinted by her own track suit. Chloe sees a business opportunity when she comes across the answers to a history test they are about to take. Her idea is foiled when Mr. Fox makes up his own questions, and Chloe loses all her - or rather Andrea's money, in refunds. Dawn and Kat develop the DVD idea, but Mr. Malachay wants them instead to do a weddings-through-the-ages presentation for Parents' Evening. Tanya makes a protest in P.E, wearing a skimpy version of the kit, to Mr. Malachay's embarrassment. The lesson becomes chaotic, Togger throws a ball in anger, hitting Jeremy, and both he and Tanya get detentions. As they wait, they hear Dawn and Kat talk about their need for a "bride and groom". Togger and Tanya are offered the chance to take part rather than do the detentions - will they agree - "I do" they chant in unison.

While Tanya fumes at the non-appearance of the "groom" - Togger investigates the troublesome house with Abel and Andy. They ponder over the enormous shed in the garden and can't resist investigating.

When he comes back with a disbelieving Mr. Fox, the shed is empty. Andy and Abel are in bins outside, and so is a monkey which darts back to school causing havoc.

Jeremy asks Emma if Tanya might be interested in him - she is shocked, convinced he was about to ask her out. The incinerator project is given the go ahead - Holly uses her lip reading to "overhear" the teachers talking about it - but there's the unforeseen snag of a high price for the equipment.

Mrs. Bassinger comes close to cancelling the incinerator project, but the discovery of sports gear, and the agreement that the caretaker will supervise the incinerator's usage, gives the project one more chance, to Martin and Holly's relief.
