Further details
Conor and Jock's friendships with Principal Walsh's daughters Linda and Siobhan intensifies, causing awkward tension between the lads, the Principal, and the girls themselves.
As they spend more time with Siobhan and Linda, both lads are becoming increasingly aware of complicated feelings that are more noticeable with each meeting. Conor is anxious to try progress things with Linda, so puts his trust in Jock's strategy to get things moving, which involves a more direct approach than Conor expected. Maybe a bit of jealousy is what's needed to kick things off?
Siobhan meanwhile is getting more than a little frustrated with Jock's antics - he's not the kind of lad who wants to be tied down.
After the recent showdown between the lads & Mairead, Sergeant Healy is feeling a touch of guilt and takes it upon himself to try and make amends for what happened.
