Travis is acting strangely, something Sharon notices. Further interrogation reveals that Travis has been suspended for possession of cannabis, which he had taken from a fellow student named Jason Gibbons, and the teacher wants to see him and Tracey first thing tomorrow. Trouble is that Tracey has hit menopause and will go mental if she finds out, so Sharon offers to pretend to be Tracey.
The meeting goes wrong very quickly when Howe names Travis as the drug supplier by Jason Gibbons himself. She proceeds to expel Travis from the school and it's not long before Tracey learns the truth anyway, although she is willing to stick up for Travis. Luckily, they figure out a way to sort things - Lorraine Howe is in a relationship with Michael Gibbons, the father of Jason Gibbons, who is cheating on his wife with her. Dorien thus flirts with him but is disappointed when he fails to take the bait. However, Sharon figures out that he likes blondes so Tracey offers to take her place, chat up Gibbons, and manages to Blackmail him into reinstating Travis at school.
