Episode 5.14 (original airdate: 28th April 2010)
It’s Josh’s birthday and Tom is planning a party. Josh and Lauren’s flirting picks up pace, only to come to an abrupt end when the secret of Lauren’s large birthmark on her back is revealed to the whole school. Totally humiliated and desperate Lauren steals hydrogen peroxide from the science lab to try and bleach the birthmark away.
In an attempt to earn brownie points with Rachel, Ruby organises a ‘Clothes Swap’ event at school for students to bring in old clothes and swap them for new ones. However, she abuses her position and takes the best clothes for herself to sell online. When she’s caught, Rachel makes it clear that if she’s not willing to ask for help, then she’s on her last warning.
Adam sets about making sweeping changes in the canteen, much to Rose’s annoyance. Nevertheless his new style ‘sit down’ meals prove successful in getting the students and staff to talk and socialise over a healthy meal. Despite the success it is clear that he needs to be less bullish in his methods. When Rachel comes to discuss this with him Finn locks her and Adam into a store room, giving the pair plenty of time to catch up on old times.
Meanwhile, Grantly claims depression in an attempt to get out of supervising an overnight trip, only to be quickly sussed by Kim. Sambuca tries to get Bolton’s attention, and Steph makes a romantic connection of her own with the charming Oliver.
