SCHOOL – OUTSIDE
Irene walks Tasha to school. Robbie joins them and apologizes for what happened the day before. Max and Robbie talk about Jekyll and how they don’t like him. Jekyll sees Kirsty and Kane kissing and says that it isn’t appropriate on school grounds. Jekyll comments that while Kirsty is at school he expects her to obey the rules. Irene (from a distance) says that she gets the feeling she is NOT going to get on with her new boss (Jekyll).
SCHOOL – ASSEMBLY
Jekyll says that he is going to enforce extra curricular activities for all students from the following week. He comments on students using mobile phones and says that if they need to use one, they can use the phone in his office instead. He says he wants all mobiles switched off immediately. Of course, Jade is on her phone, which subsequently gets confiscated when Jekyll sees her on it. A phone then starts ringing which turns out to be Irene’s. Jekyll looks mightily impressed, as you can imagine!

Henry asks Jekyll if he knows where he can sign up for the cadets (one of the new activities he is enforcing). He says the forms will go up later. Robbie and Tasha talk about what classes they have to be in. Seb says that he doesn’t know how the students are supposed to fit in sports and music when they have their HSC to do. Kirsty asks Sally what Jekyll’s problem is. She simply answers that it takes everyone a while to settle into a new job. Jade comments that everyone has been ‘Jekylled’…even Sally!
SCHOOL – CLASSROM
Irene blasts into Sally’s classroom ranting and raving about Jekyll. Sally says that he is definitely going to take some time getting used to. He walks in and asks Irene if she has done what he her asked her to do. She says that she had a family crisis. Jekyll replies with “But are you familiar with the idea of prioritisation?” This doesn’t go down well when Sally tries to explain that staff can take time off if need be. Jekyll says he is not interested in her policies right now. Irene says she is at the school to work, not to be talked down to. Jekyll is quick to tell her that if she has a problem with the way he works, then she should think about her future at the school. (Irene’s face when he leaves is priceless!)

DINER

Irene says that she would have reacted exactly the same way if she was in his situation. Irene says that she is happy to do what she can to help especially now there’s a baby on the way. Colleen overhears and is quick to make sure that most of the Diner and probably Summer Bay know too!

SCHOOL – CORRIDOR
