2581: The teens' revision turns to partying
Josh's band get the chance of a big break, but internal arguments threaten to ruin the whole gig. Lydia's late for rehearsals, Hayley's full of nerves and when Kris throws a diva strop feeling like Josh is pushing him out, The Somethings are left without a manager.

It's terrible timing as Josh has managed to secure Rob Mackie, a music promoter, to see them play. In a desperate attempt to keep things together, Josh asks Lydia to collect Rob from the airport while he sits his exam. However, when Josh discovers that Lydia has been drawn away by family commitments, he abandons his AS Level to collect Rob.

While Hayley manages to persuade Kris to return for the gig, things are far from sorted as Josh announces that Lydia isn't attending. While everyone frets, Josh has to make another quick decision and begs a reluctant Rhys to drum. Will Josh keep it together for the performance? And can Rhys and Hayley avoid sniping at each other long enough to persuade Rob that The Somethings deserve their big shot?

When Lauren holds an impromptu group study session, no one gets much work done. Newt arrives at the Valentines' and Leo is suspicious at first but Lauren ushers her dad out so she can spend time with Newt alone.

Lauren's dismayed, however, when Newt announces that he's also invited Theresa to study with them. Lauren's day gets much worse when Theresa arrives with Anita, armed with bottles of cider, clearly harbouring no plans to revise.

Lauren sparks with Theresa and their bickering leads into a game of truth or dare. When Lauren challenges Anita to steal from Drive N Buy, Theresa's on-hand when Anita gets into an awkward situation with Leo.

As the day goes on, Lauren finds everyone else turning against her. Just as things are boiling over, Leo walks in to find Lauren throwing up. It all ends in tears for Lauren and Anita, but when Theresa and Newt are left alone, things heat up…

Zoe tries to negotiate with Adrian about her plagiarised script, but he still won't back down on his offer. Some words of comfort from Kris help to cheer her up a little, but Zoe still sees no way to save her degree or her dreams of becoming a top film maker. When Adrian turns up at the SU bar and smugly offers to buy Zoe a drink, it's all she can do to stop herself hitting him…

Meanwhile, Zak is still stuck for somewhere to live post-graduation. Michaela offers to let him live with her but he doesn't exactly seem over the moon at the idea of living in the McQueen residence.
