Lee and Tina try to figure out a code that he heard in the Parent's Council meeting, while returning the robo-babies. It turns out that Chaz knows what the code means and Barrage has returned as principal, saying he was at Coral Grove on holiday, though he doesn't remember anything about the brainwashing events that occurred before the dance. Barrage takes Lee to the newly improved detention room and challenges him: if he can escape, he is free from his original punishment. Biffy continues to refuse to speak with Lee. Meanwhile, Brad attempts to become more popular than Lee again by using a plan stolen from a movie: stealing Lee's friends' girlfriends, Brandy and Greta, being the first step. Chaz claims that the code is to do with his dad's plane's arrival details. Lee and Tina escape school to find out what is happening while Cam organises a distraction to fool Barrage. Lee and Tina, who is filming the scene, find Cassandra greeting a male council member holding a briefcase with something glowing inside. Lee and Tina are chased by a Reaper Mat, Tina gives up her camera and they arrive just in time to get back to school. After two chances, Lee fails to escape the detention room and his punishment is permanent.
