For authenticity the teachers organize a foraging expedition, where Kevin, helped by a military uniform and a Glenn Miller disc, wins back Dynasty. However the stupid Barry Barry and even dimmer side-kick Darren pick and eat magic mushrooms, requiring their hospital admission. Education officer - and Sue's father - Robert Bain arrives for his school inspection, which begins well. However Rhiannon faints after taking the austerity diet too seriously and a goat gets loose in the school. At least Christine manages to stop the pupils from eating the remaining mushrooms but Sue discovers that she is employing George aware that his Mandarin is not up to teaching standard, ammunition she gives Simon in his bid to become the permanent head. Robert is displeased with Christine but also berates Simon for being underhand and trying to score points of the headmistress. Battle lines are now drawn between Christine and Simon.
