With the baby due soon, Conor and Jock celebrate the anniversary of them officially becoming best friends. After all, best friends only come around once in a lifetime, right?

Gavin and Jock were best friends in primary school, and Gavin and his mother – Nancy, a new teacher at the school – have just moved back to Cork from Kilkenny. Conor takes an instant dislike to Gavin, who has started to intentionally call Conor the wrong name and also takes to complimenting Linda, knowing it will enrage Conor. 

Meanwhile, a spate of thefts at the school has Principal Walsh doubling down on his activities, patrolling the school grounds to monitor any potential thefts. When Nancy realises that an item has been stolen from her, Principal Walsh puts the school on lockdown until the culprit has been found.
