Donald Fisher beats his students at their own game. Adam and Martin masquerade as robbers.
Extended Summary
Adam and Martin’s plan to get Lance and Marilyn off the hook is in full swing. Adam tells Celia that the bank robbers are still on the loose.
Martin and Adam are dressed in their outfits. Adam is dressed as a bank robber and Martin as a woman! Martin also wears lipstick to make it authentic! They have hired a car that they will try to get people to think it is stolen. They have disguised the registration number on the car.
Tom works on the kitchen table after the fire. Tom and Pippa are discussing whether to foster Sophie or not. They aren’t sure what to do.
Carly tells Pippa that her skirt has shrunk. Pippa tell her it couldn’t be because of the washing.
Grant asks Fisher if his class can have sailboarding lessons. Fisher thinks it is too risky and says no to the whole thing.
Carly buys some kind of diet tablets at Alf’s store. Celia is very surprised. Carly thinks she has gained weight due to the skirt that Bobby got Ailsa to make smaller as a joke to Carly.
Celia sees Adam and Martin in their outfits in the car they rented. She doesn’t recognise them naturally. Adam and Martin do their act and starts talking and arguing about money from the robbery and so on just so Celia would think that it is the real bank robbers and thereby letting the word go around as she is a master at spreading gossip. Martin pretends to be a woman and also fakes his voice to a high-pitched lady like voice. (funny scene).
Celia tells Alf what she saw and that she is sure they were criminals. Alf is doubtful and says that she has got no proof.
Celia goes back to the car to take a closer look at the “criminals”. Adam and Martin hurry to get away. Celia finds a piece of Martin’s outfit that got a bit torn in the process of them hurrying away.
Celia also noticed a sticker on the car window of the company that rents out cars.
Celia tells the police about the whole thing.
The class is cranky since Fisher wouldn’t let them do sailboarding lessons.
Bobby thinks it was mean and selfish of Fisher to say no to it.
Carly and Bobby continue to pick on each other and give each other a hard time.
Bobby heard that Emma and more students would have a strike since they didn’t get to do sailboarding lessons.
Bobby tells Fisher about the strike and hope that he would agree to let them have sailboarding lessons with Grant. She is a bit angry with Fisher.
Celia tells Tom and Pippa that Carly has bought some diet tablets.
Celia sees the same text in a newspaper that she saw on the sticker on the “criminals” car window. She phones the police and tells them about it.
Grant found out about the strike. He tries to talk the students out of it but says it is their choice in the end.
Fisher has changed his mind and will now let the students do sailboarding lessons. He has also organised sailboards!
Emma, Viv and Grant find out that Fisher is now OK with the sail boarding lessons. They are happy.
Fisher thought Grant was part of the strike plans. He is angry and warns Grant that he could end up getting transferred to another school.
Grant explains he had nothing to do with the strike. He is a bit annoyed.
The police comes to Matt’s apartment. They talk to Adam and Martin and have also found the outfits that made them look as the bank robbers. The police know they rented the car. Adam admits it. Adam and Martin are very worried.
