Episode 10 (2x10)

Air date: Feb 02, 1979

Cathy tries to apologies to Trisha over their fight but Trisha doesn't want to know. Sutcliffe catches Cathy and some other first year girls dancing to "Daddy Cool" in the cloakroom but instead of reproaching them he joins in! Baxter organises a staff walk out in protest at the way Summers was treated over the fight. Due to there being no staff supervision for the pupils, the school is cleared and the pupils are all sent home. Madeline and Cathy go "shopping" in the local precinct. Firstly Madeline steals an apple. Then both girls steal (empty) record covers from a music shop. The girls sit down for a coffee and then tease two older boys into chasing them but escape by hiding in the ladies toilets. Both girls then go to a boutique and Madeline steals an item of clothing. Just in the nick of time the shop manager realises the theft and chases them along with security guards . The guards chase them on to the precinct roof where Madeline slyly puts the stolen item into Cathy's bag. They escape from there but are soon caught by the guards and the shop manager. Madeline tells the police to look in Cathy's bag and Cathy is shocked when the stolen item is found there. Cathy is sent to see Llewellyn. Mitchell and her mother are there also. Llewellyn says that due to her previous good character and recent difficult home circumstances (her father turning up) he is prepared to overlook the incident in her case, although Madeline is handed over to the police. Cathy retracts her complaint about Summers hitting her and the Art teacher will be reinstated. Mitchell tells Cathy to "go and make it up with Trisha!"
