Claire has plans for another magazine issue on 'Scruffy' McGuffey. Jonah spins Fay round in delight when the result of the referendum is a yes. Fay falls to the ground, hurting her ankle and Annette and Diane point out 'It's better than being blind innit!'.
18RallyBarry PurcheseTBA4 March 1983
A rally is being organised by the pupils to bring back Mr McGuffey and posters and banners are being painted in secret. Mrs McClusky reinstated Mr. McGuffey - without telling the pupils. Jonah ruins the banner he was working on, by making the letters too big. However, there is a more major issue- the main school doors are locked. Jonah comes up with an idea to open the school. Jonah hides aboard a milk float and gains entry into the school while the staff are patrolling the school gates. When the staff see the kids approach from one end of the road, the teachers go to that gate. However, another set of kids enter by the other entrance. Jonah lets in the 'Scruffy' protesters. Mrs. McClusky plays her trump card - the appearance of Mr. McGuffey. Claire and Suzanne are devastated that they went ahead with the protest when they learn he was reinstated the day before.
