Halloween is a big deal on the barracks and so the boys are determined to successfully defend their "dooking" for apples trophy. Gary goes with Julie to Gypsy Ann Marie, who gives a sceptical Gary a terrifying prediction.

All seems fine back at the barracks as Jacko and Charlie train Mickey up for his dooking debut, but Gary starts to panic as the predictions start to come true.

It takes the lure of a massive trophy to get Gary to the Halloween party, but once there he comes face-to-face with the worrying conclusion to the Gypsy Ann Marie's insights.
