When Mr Bell bans an end-of-year party, Polly comes up with the idea of a talent show instead which could be funded by the students. Mr Bell sees this as an opportunity to showcase his magic and allows it to go ahead. Ingrid decides to enter and when Amber hears of this, she decides to try and get one over on Ingrid by coming up with a bigger and better talent act, with no idea of what it is actually going to be. Mrs Goodman decides to return to her position as headteacher and cancels the talent show, much to the distress of Mr Bell who has to deal with the repercussions. He breaks the news to the pupils, causing Polly to kick off. This causes Mr Bell to permanently exclude her. Amber decides to tell Ingrid that her act is lion-taming and Ingrid laughs. Amber asks Isaac to use his dog and she puts a lion mane on it to make it look like a lion. When Amber shows this dog to Ingrid in a cupboard, the dog escapes and Ingrid begins to lose it. Mr Bell decides not to exclude Polly after all and Mrs Goodman says the talent show can go ahead. The talent show is thrown into chaos when the dog runs riot through the hall. Owen hides under a table where Katie is. She believes he was trying to save her from the 'lion'. They get back together. Note: This series ended with a rap entitled Grab the Moment | ||||||
