Lockie's first day of high school runs exactly to plan... not! After quickly making an enemy, Lockie is an immediate target for all kinds of treatment at school.
When Lockie accidentally mouths-off in math class, Mum is called into Old Squasher's office. As usual, Mum blames herself. A guilty Lockie vows to make it up to her.
Lockie questions why his dad Sarge insists on being so "different". It's hard enough fitting into a new town without Sarge drawing attention to the family -- like insisting the thing they need is a pet sheep named Cyril.
Lockie Leonard is officially a teenager. But, hold on -- do things feel any different? Everything does! Vicki Streeton kisses Lockie, promising to sort out "The Details" later.
Suffering from Easter holidays boredom, Lockie decides it's time to teach Egg how to swim. But the boys get more then they bargained for when they discover the river is polluted.
Lockie and Egg prepare for their public meeting to help save the river. At first, Lockie's committed to the cause... until Dot asks him to surf, that is.
Lockie has some problems. First, he's decided to break up with Dot. It's just figuring out how that's tricky. Meanwhile, Mum is acting weird. She's been staring at the TV for days, when it's not even tuned to a channel.
When dancing-challenged Lockie realises he's expected to bust some moves at the upcoming blue light disco, he takes his insecurities out on Phillip. Phillip is kept busy on a top secret assignment, "Project Lisa".
After a misunderstanding with Vicki, Lockie is thrust into a looming altercation with an older bogan. Lockie's mum must also face her fears when she is asked my Mrs Egg to pose for a sculpture -- in the nude.
Lockie and a bunch of kids from school are off to John East's Camp Find Yourself. The clock's ticking for Egg as he faces a difficult decision about his future. Lockie's relationship with Vicky is put to the test.
Mum is having one of Polka Dot days. Like Freda the Volvo, sometimes Mum needs a bit of a tune-up. Usually, one day in bed does the job. But it's been three days already and Mum's not getting any better.
Between mum being in hospital and his continued bed-wetting, Phillip needs cheering up, so Lockie enters them in the Annual Angelus Fishing Competition.
Lockie and the family become the focus of small-town charity, much to Lockie's chagrin. Lockie enters the cross-country and places a disappointing first. Cyril goes missing.
Nan and Pop arrive to help out the Leonards but with Nan's cooking filling the family's stomach with stinky hot gas and Pop's dangerous driving, the grandparents are more of a hindrance.
Lockie ponders the notion of the domino effect: how one small event can trigger a series of other smaller events, leading to big, potentially life-changing results.
It's the last day of school and Vicki drops a bombshell: she won't be coming back to Angelus High next year. In fact, she's leaving Angelus altogether to go to boarding school.
