During exam season, Mr Percievall becomes aware that cheating has become rampant among the students. Rather than merely reporting the problem, he resolves to address it himself, devising a creative solution that aims to curb the dishonest behaviour. He watches the situation closely, notes how widespread the malpractice is, and then puts his unconventional plan into action, hoping it will curb the cheating and restore fairness to the assessment process. His intention is to intervene directly, using an inventive method that he believes will be more effective than traditional measures. He hopes his approach will set an example for future examinations, showing that a proactive stance can make a difference.

Naomie’s completely convinced that her goldfish can predict the future. She’s sure of the tiny creature’s supposed prophetic gift without question, treating it as a personal oracle whose insights she believes can reveal events before they happen. Her certainty’s absolute, and she’s never doubted the fish’s ability to foretell what lies ahead. Zak, on the other hand, sees a practical advantage in that belief. He’s thinking that by consulting the pet he could learn the exact date of the next test, letting him plan his revision schedule accordingly. His aim’s simply to use the fish’s alleged foresight to gain a timing edge for the upcoming examination.

Zak and Jason set about teaching Princess, their dog, the basics of detective work, hoping she’ll pick up the skills needed for investigations. They spend time running drills, practising scent tracking and clue‑finding, determined to turn the playful pooch into a capable sleuth. They even experiment with various exercises, from scent‑based puzzles to mock interrogations, hoping each activity will sharpen Princess’s instincts. Meanwhile, Megan watches the training sessions with growing disapproval, clearly uneasy about the whole endeavour and voicing her dissatisfaction with the direction they’re taking. Her frustration grows as she feels the dog’s natural playfulness is being sacrificed for an unrealistic role.

The Jinks family, together with Zak’s friend Jason, set off on a camping holiday that adheres to a specific theme. The setting is deliberately arranged to echo that motif, with the whole experience built around it. Throughout the outing, the exclusive medium of exchange is a Bora‑Bora ticket, meaning every transaction is settled with that ticket. This arrangement gives the trip a distinctive flavour, as the participants constantly rely on their tickets as the sole form of payment. In essence, the programme follows the Jinks family and Jason as they enjoy a themed camping adventure where Bora‑Bora tickets function as the only currency.

In this episode the pupils organise a vote to choose a class representative. Three of them—Alban, Olivia and Zak—step forward as candidates, each offering to take on the role. The class then proceeds with the election, weighing the options presented by the three volunteers. All three put themselves forward, hoping the others will see them as the best choice to voice the group's concerns. Each candidate gives a brief case, explaining why they feel suited to represent their peers, and the class listens. While the vote is pending, the atmosphere mixes curiosity and friendly rivalry, with each hopeful eager to earn the trust of their classmates.

The youngsters set about gathering crates of Crocosauruses because they must earn one hundred Crocopoints before they can attend the dinosaur play party. Each box they collect adds toward the required points, and the children are determined to hit the target. Their aim is simply to secure exactly one hundred Crocopoints so they’re allowed entry to the festive dinosaur‑themed gathering. They tally each Crocopoint as they go, checking progress against the goal and sharing the excitement of every new box that brings them closer. The anticipation builds as the tally climbs, and the children keep a careful count, making sure every Crocosauruse box adds to their total.

In the episode, Alban finds himself receiving a great deal of support as he tries out for a role on the programme he loves most. Throughout the audition, numerous people step in to lend him advice and encouragement, ensuring he isn’t left to face the process alone. The assistance comes at every stage, from preparing his material to delivering his performance, and it helps him feel more confident about securing the part. Ultimately, the generous help he receives underscores how the show values his enthusiasm and desire to be part of the production. He appreciates the guidance and feels it boosts his chances, reinforcing his determination to succeed.

Zak is keen to attend the town’s fireworks display, hoping to enjoy the evening’s spectacle. However, his plans are held up by the babysitter who’s looking after the children. Before he can go to the show, he must first deal with the babysitter’s presence, navigating the arrangements required to leave the kids in safe hands. The situation revolves around Zak’s wish to watch the fireworks and the hurdle of getting past the babysitter. He imagines the colourful bursts lighting up the night sky, and excitement builds as the time draws nearer. Yet the babysitter, responsible for the youngsters, remains a necessary barrier he must clear. Only once he’s sorted the childcare situation can he head out to the display.

The organiser of the school’s camping outing has devised a treasure hunt that’s intended to be educational, hoping to blend learning with adventure for the group. He has set up clues and activities that should teach the pupils something useful while they roam the campsite, turning the experience into a classroom outside the walls. Nevertheless, Zak and Jason seem to have their own ideas about what to do, suggesting they might veer away from the planned learning‑focused game and pursue a different, perhaps more mischievous, agenda. Perhaps they’ll turn the hunt into a race for hidden prizes rather than a lesson.

In this episode each pupil in Zak’s class is offered the chance to pick a job and get a glimpse of what it involves. The whole group rotates through different roles, giving them a brief insight into various occupations. Zak’s turn lands him the position of trainee principal, meaning he must follow the school’s headmaster around for a day. His mentor for the experience is Mr Percieval, whose duties he observes and mirrors. By shadowing Mr Percieval, Zak gets a practical look at the responsibilities of running a school, from dealing with staff to handling everyday decisions. The segment shows Zak learning the ropes of school leadership through direct observation.

With the end‑of‑year school reports about to be dispatched, Mrs Jinks pulls Zak aside and lays out a simple deal. She explains that once the marks have been sent out, a satisfactory report on Zak’s part will be rewarded with a celebratory outing to Star Trick Land. In other words, if his results meet the expected standard, the two will mark the occasion by heading to that attraction together. The promise hinges entirely on the quality of Zak’s report, and Mrs Jinks makes clear that the trip is contingent on his performance. Both look forward to the potential day out, hoping the grades will justify the plan.

The pupils are required to produce written pieces for the school newspaper, an assignment that asks each of them to draft an article for the publication. In the course of this task, Zak and Jason become overly enthusiastic, letting their excitement take over. They plunge ahead with their story without pausing to verify whether the details they’re including are correct. By skipping the essential step of checking the truth of their material, they end up with a piece that has not been confirmed as accurate. The brief explicitly calls for factual accuracy, yet the two friends overlook that guideline. Rather than reviewing any sources, they’re simply writing what they think will be engaging, abandoning the usual practice of verification.
