Synopsis[]
Connor is put on probation and transferred to the PRU, but feelings run high against him and a girl gang, led by Dynasty, set upon him. Imogen comes to his rescue, after which they finally reconcile. Former pupil Bolton Smilie, now a soldier who has served in Afghanistan, comes to see Tom and is asked to give a speech to the school. He is however very nervous, and it is a disaster. In fact he is a deserter, AWOL from his military post, scared by his experiences in Afghanistan, and, when the military police are alerted, he takes Grantly and his class hostage at gunpoint, though Grantly manages to defuse the situation, and Bolton is arrested by the military police.
