Extended Summary
Ben tells Scott that he wants to talk to Neville and Floss. His father says no and shouts at him, ordering him to go up to his room.
Floss puts up a big flag on the tent they used when they worked in the circus. The flag has the text “Madame Zara Tarot Card Reader”.
Sandra wants Steven to help her cheat on a test at school; she has not been able to study for it because of her father causing trouble all the time.
A woman sees Floss and Neville. Floss gives her a palm reading and the woman agrees to let her do a tarot card reading on her.
Scott comes out and says they will have to leave his garden or he will call in the police. Neville says “Go ahead, call the police!”
Carly is a bit stuck during the test and the teacher prompts her to continue.
Steven didn’t help Sandra cheat on the test. She gets angry with him for not helping her. He gets lectured by Carly and Bobby.
Fisher calls Bobby to his office when he sees her test papers. She gives him a long explanation on a question about how to figure yourself out. Fisher is a bit taken aback but is also impressed over her enthusiasm. He sees that she can if she wants to.
Ben sneaks out of the house and runs to Floss and Neville. He says he has fixed it. Neville and Floss ask him, “Fixed what?” Ben replies, “You’ll see!”
The police come to Scott’s house. Neville says he can move the tent but the police explain that isn’t why they are here. They received a call with complaints of domestic disturbances from a child a little while ago. Neville and Floss realise it must have been Ben who made the phone call!
Ben said to the police that his father had hit him but that isn’t true. Floss, Neville and Scott explain to the police what happened and the police leave.
Ben says he will run away if his father won’t let him see Floss and Neville. Scott tells Floss and Neville to leave and also that they won’t be allowed any further contact with Ben. Neville and Floss have no choice but to agree.
Ben yells from his window to Floss and Neville when they leave and he asks them when will he see them again. They see only one option and that is to let Ben down so that he doesn’t want to see them again. Neville yells to Ben that he can’t meet them any more and Floss tells Ben (with tears in her eyes) that he has only caused them trouble. She doesn’t really mean that but she says it so Ben won’t want to know them anymore since his dad would not allow it.
