Louisa is nervously awaiting an interview for promotion to head teacher of Portwenn Primary School, and she's anxious to make a good impression. The breakout of a highly contagious skin infection amongst the children isn't going to help any.

Further details

Louisa is nervously awaiting an interview for promotion to head teacher of Portwenn Primary School, and she's anxious to make a good impression.

But the odds seem to be stacked against her. Martin is on the board of governors, and she's not sure she can count on his vote. She's also prevented from preparing properly for the interview when one of her pupils, Peter, has to stay with her when his mum is rushed to hospital with serious burns from the fat fryer in the fish and chip shop.

Elsewhere in the village, a serious and highly contagious skin infection has broken out amongst the children; no one's heeding the Doc's advice to stop it spreading, and he's none-too-amused with an ever-increasing number of cases - especially when he has to take over from Louisa as loco parentis!
