Summerdown has merged with another school in the area, and it is all change for the teachers. Bob has been demoted, and his new boss seems to be a hit with all the women. Lindsay and Penny are trying to integrate and make friends with the new teachers, but not all of them are really interested.
Penny makes a pass at Ewan, but it all ends in humiliation. It's not long, however, before Penny is annoying everyone again with news that she has a new admirer, but the problem is, no one can find out who he is.
Ewan is thrown into turmoil when he finds out that a pupil, John, fancies him; and all his attempts to handle the situation sensitively backfire horribly.
It's Obesity Awareness Month and Ben becomes obsessed with Lindsay's weight. It's purely selfish, of course; he's worried that her death would be bad for his own stress levels.
It's religious tolerance week and as Bob finally takes delivery of his new wife, the teachers prepare to represent their allocated religions for the tolerance fair.
After discovering that Penny's real surname is Eichmann, the others take great pleasure in winding her up - she's blonde, she hates foreign food, she has no black friends - could she actually be a racist?
Damien falls for Anna, the substitute teacher - the only problem being that an unfortunate incident with a pupil and an icing bag has rendered him impotent. Can he solve his problem before Anna starts to think he's not worth it?
While trying to find an excuse to get out of Bob's stag night, Ben is reminded of a ouija board prediction: he is going to die on Friday.
The end of term is fast approaching. The school is trashed after the Christmas party, the teachers are hungover, Bob is getting married in the playground, and the Ofsted Inspector is due.
