Lockie Leonard Season 2 Episodes
Season 2 Episode Guide
26 Episodes 2010 - 2010
Episode 1
New and Improved
Tue, Jun 22, 201022 mins
The Endless Summer has, well? - ended and Lockie Leonard and his family brace themselves for the new school year ahead. But what will it bring - more of the same, or will it be New and Improved? Mum laments the end of the holidays, dreading what's ahead - the homework; the school lunches - She only had children so she'd have someone to play with. Who mentioned anything about sending them to school? Phillip, however, can barely contain his excitement. He's starting high school one year early, and looks forward to the new scientific horizons he imagines it will offer. Lockie isn't sure how to break it to him that Angelus High is hardly NASA. As for Lockie, his big question is whether this year will include Vicki Streeton. As in his girlfriend - who has yet to return from an overseas family vacation and may, quite possibly, have already checked-in to a fancy city boarding school. He'd probably be less stressed out if she'd sent him more than the one postcard.
Episode 2
The X Factor
Wed, Jun 23, 201023 mins
Lockie and Vicki are back together and better than ever, and it seems everyone in Angelus is just as happy with the arrangement as they are. But the problem? People are so comfortable with the idea of Vicki and Lockie being a couple again, they've started seeing them as the same person - which is difficult when you have separate interests. So, the question is - how can you stay half of a couple but still remain a whole person in your own right - all at the same time? It's like one of Old Squasher's tricky simultaneous equation questions - and Maths has never been one of Lockie's stronger points. Meanwhile, Mum is horrified to discover Phillip's all set to endure Old Squasher's Third Day Maths Test - and she has neglected to study for it. Desperate times call for slightly questionable measures.
Episode 3
Bubble Trouble
Thu, Jun 24, 201023 mins
Bubbles may seem harmless enough but don't be fooled, they can cause a lot of trouble, too - as Lockie is about to find out. Lockie and Vicki are so into each other, they've started living in their own little world - a Happiness Bubble, where they are the only ones who exist. The problem is, they can't see what's happening outside, in the real world. If they did, they'd see Egg doesn't really want Rev to meet a new friend to replace Mrs Egg, despite Vicki and Lockie insisting he does. Mum's in a bubble too - a Worry Bubble. She's become so stressed Phillip is yet to make a new friend at high school, she's unable to see how things really are - and resorts to slightly illegal measures to see her mission out. Meanwhile, Sarge welcomes his new Constable, who suspects Sarge may be living in a bubble of his own - and is determined to burst it.
Episode 4
Pick a Winner
Fri, Jun 25, 201022 mins
Do we hide behind what we wear? If you took away our uniforms - would our real selves be exposed? That's certainly how Mum feels after Sarge takes away her apron, insisting she have a Personal Development Day and enjoy some "Joy Time". Feeling lost and naked, and in desperate need of a new uniform, Mum makes easy prey for Mrs Streeton and her gaggle of tennis playing Angelus housewives. Meanwhile, Lockie and Vicki are also in danger of exposing themselves, when Sasha suggests they complete a multiple-choice magazine quiz to prove they'll go the distance. Lockie keenly accepts the challenge, figuring it might be a good way to shut down the increasingly fabricated gossip spreading about them. But as Vicki becomes more and more distant, Lockie senses all is not well.
Episode 5
Life Map
Mon, Jun 28, 201023 mins
Maps are good things, really - very useful when you find yourself completely and utterly lost. If only we had maps for our lives, Life Maps. That way we'd know if we'd reached our ultimate destination, our Comfort Zone - or if we're heading for a Danger Zone. While it appeared Lockie and Vicki had reached their Comfort Zone, her apparent enthusiasm for boring old people activities has Lockie thinking otherwise - does Vicki want to change direction on their Life Map, towards Oldpeoplesville? Meanwhile, Mum and Sarge direct Phillip away from his shed and into the wide world in order for him to make a new friend his own age and prevent him being a target at school. The mission appears to be a success, but when Phillip's new friend pays a visit it isn't quite what Mum had in mind. As for Egg? Since Sasha's makeover made him popular, he's in unchartered territory - and doesn't know which way to run.
Episode 6
Total Eclipse
Tue, Jun 29, 201023 mins
Since Sasha's makeover Egg has become a major star - the headline act of Angelus High. But the thing about stars is eventually they have to crash back to Earth. Since Egg's newfound fame has gone to his head, it's clear he's heading for a big fall - it's just a matter of how much damage he'll do before that happens, and whom he can still count as his friends once it does. Meanwhile, Phillip and Marjorie lead the town in preparation for the upcoming full eclipse of the sun. Mum, however, doesn't share their enthusiasm. She fears Phillip's friendship with Marjorie is robbing Phillip of childhood magic. Sam is also facing a big fear - the dark. But sometimes you have to face the darkness in order to see the light up ahead.
Episode 7
The Silence of the Frogs
Wed, Jun 30, 201023 mins
Suddenly, overnight, the frogs in the swamp have chosen to go silent. In fact, the silence is so deafening, the Leonard family are unable to sleep. And the less you sleep, the more time you have to think about things - like your best friend kissing your girlfriend. But Lockie is determined not to make an issue of it and pretends he never saw it. Vicki and Egg also agree not to discuss "the kiss" with Lockie, and let things go back to normal. It didn't mean anything, after all. However as time wears on, Egg struggles to contain his guilt. As the truth slowly emerges, one by one the frogs break their silence. Phillip is determined to find a scientific solution to the amphibians' silence - with little success. Perhaps Marjorie is right - maybe the silence of the frogs is due to something more mystical?
Episode 8
The Information Age
Thu, Jul 1, 201023 mins
How much is too much information? Lockie's not sure, but it's clear he's not providing Vicki with enough. Since she's been sent to boarding school, they've been keeping in contact via snail mail. And in every letter Vicki has hinted it'd be much easier for Lockie to keep up with her new life if he had a home computer - and in particular, a profile on social networking site, "HeadSpace". Lockie argues a computer would make the perfect birthday present, but Mum and Sarge are hesitant. Miraculously, Phillip and Marjorie manage to build him one. Finally the Leonards are online, but it seems no matter how much increasingly trivial information Lockie uploads on his "HeadSpace" page, Vicki wants more. Egg is given too much information than he can handle when Ms Archer visits Rev for a private "jam session", while Nan arrives in town primed to battle Marjorie for Phillip's affection.
Episode 9
Time and Tide
Fri, Jul 2, 201023 mins
People are like the tide - they drift in and out of your life. You can't always see it coming, but it happens, and it will keep on happening, every day for the rest of your life. It seems Vicki is drifting from Lockie. He hasn't received an email from her in days. Egg, too, is on the move. He's scored three strikes for his recent bad behaviour and has been removed from regular classes. Egg's been sanctioned to Enrichment Class, home to the school's "morally malnourished" - including Curtis Ferraris - Angelus High's meanest, baddest bogan. Egg quickly realises if he's going to survive Enrichment Class, he'll need to get on Curtis' good side. This means spending less time with Lockie, who has very little success finding a replacement friend for Egg - unless you count his melodramatic English teacher, Ms Twaddle. Phillip also faces the prospect of his best friend drifting from him after Marjorie reveals she's ready to return to the stars.
Episode 10
It Happens
Mon, Jul 5, 201023 mins
Everything's changing in Lockie's world. Not that long ago he had a best friend. Now, Egg is brushing him off to hang out with bogan Curtis Ferraris. At least he can always chat to Vicki on the internet - but Vicki isn't online. Perhaps her school's server is down again, or perhaps Lockie needs to move on, like everyone else seems to be. Phillip wishes things could stay the same. Now Marjorie has figured out her comet is in their orbit after all, she's preparing for her final departure. The problem is, Phillip isn't ready to say goodbye yet. Lockie agrees to sneak off to the city to collect something to make Phillip's farewell easier. While there, he springs a surprise visit on Vicki, where he learns her new life is miles away from what he imagined. She's looking towards the future, so what's Lockie's problem? As Sarge explains, you can't stop the future from happening - it happens - it just happens.

Egg is impressed and stoked Lockie will finally get to see Curtis isn't as bad as Lockie may think. Unfortunately, the time of the party clashes with Mum's public rally to gain the town's support for the new community radio station she's planning to revive.

As he comes to, a groggy Lockie thinks he sees a flash of a tail as she disappears back into the water. Lockie should've known better relaying the story to Phillip - especially when the mystery girl appears at school as the new girl, Mel. Phillip is on a mission to prove Mel is in fact a mermaid.

Episode 15
A Head of the Team
Mon, Jul 12, 201023 mins
Phillip's never played a sport. He's more inclined to use his head than his body. But as his experiments become increasingly dangerous, Mum and Sarge have decided it's time he did. Encouraged by Sarge's presentation of the Leonard Family Sporting Hall of Fame, Phillip agrees to join a team. After much research, Philip concludes netball is the one. Phillip's quest is met with opposition - he is a boy, and therefore, banned from playing. The injustice launches Sarge into activist mode, defending his son's right to be a trailblazer. Like Phillip, Mel isn't one to follow the pack either, which is difficult for Lockie as he's required to act as her "buddy" until she settles into Angelus High. But as Mel points out, who is Lockie going to hang out with once she makes real friends? Certainly not Egg, who struggles to keep his place in his new team when Curtis asks him to hunt down the object of Sasha's affection - only for Egg to discover he is the marked man. All comes to a head on match day - literally.

To prove Rev hasn't failed as a father, Egg decides it's time to get out of Enrichment Class and apply for early release.

Egg can't bring himself to accept Sasha's offer of being his girlfriend, fearing how it will end. Meanwhile, Rev wants to tell Ms Archer he misses her but can't find the words.

His efforts are seriously thwarted when Sunny literally dumps Mel on the Leonards' doorstep for the weekend. How is Lockie going to stop Mel from laughing at him now, after she's literally seen him and his whole family in their underwear?

After hearing strange voices on the radio, who seem to be asking for their assistance, Phillip and Joe are certain Angelus has a stranded alien on its hands. As the investigation wears on, the tension between the two dissipates, and Phillip discovers he may have found something in Joe that's even more important than an alien discovery.

Lockie figures once he gets rid of the letters, all memories of Vicki will disappear with them. Or maybe Sarge is right, and the heart never forgets? Phillip certainly hasn't forgotten Marjorie, not with Joe around. Phillip presents Joe with the compelling research he has compiled, pointing to one thing: Joe is a molecular rearrangement of his old friend.

Not So Perfect Storm
Fri, Jul 23, 201023 mins
Life is a bit like the weather - it's not always easy to predict. There's always some random event that comes out of nowhere and takes you totally by surprise - like realising your surfing buddy is interested in becoming your girlfriend.

Mel is left feeling betrayed. Phillip's long-held suspicions that Mel is a mermaid are reignited when Mel's anger with Lockie coincides with unseasonably bad weather.

Episode 25
Crimes of the Heartless
Mon, Jul 26, 201023 mins
According to Sarge, the worst crime of all is heartlessness - when you know your actions will hurt others but you do it anyway. Mr Streeton, it would seem, is the king of heartlessness, if building a retirement home in the swamp is any indication. Mr Streeton's blunt assessment of Sarge's worldview causes Sarge to reassess himself. His introspection spirals to despair when it appears Mum's wedding ring has been stolen. However, the final blow comes when Lockie admits to Sarge that he is the town's biggest criminal - he knowingly broke Mel's heart. Lockie's heartlessness, Phillip's growing frustration with the science faculty, and a surprise job offer for Mum cause the Leonards to question if they belong in Angelus anymore. Blob, however, has other ideas.
Episode 26
Legend
Tue, Jul 27, 201023 mins
With only two days before they're due to pack up and head for Sydney, the Leonards have some big farewells to bid. Saying goodbye to his loyal comrades is one of the hardest things Sarge has ever had to do, made all the harder given his belief that his poetry-based approach to policing has failed. Mum, meanwhile, has a whole town to say goodbye to as she broadcasts her final radio show. Despite his much-mentioned excitement about the scientific possibilities of Sydney, it appears Phillip is struggling to sever his ties with Joe and Cyril. Phillip blames his tears on a delayed allergy to Cyril. And as for Lockie? With every farewell he makes, he seems to be given one more reason to stay. Perhaps it's true what they say; maybe you can have your cake and eat it too.
