Episode 2

Benny is almost knocked over by Mitchell's car whilst kicking a football in the school car park. Mitchell reminds Benny of the school football trials after school that day. Benny says that he wants to enter but has no boots to wear. Tucker playfights with friends in the playground. They are caught by Foster. Foster tells Tucker he'll be watching out for him. Tucker tells his friends not to worry about Foster ("the size of this place we'll probably never see him again"). Lo and behold, Foster is to be the PE teacher for the first year class. Benny is late for PE, he mistakenly goes to the girl's changing rooms. When he does find the right gym, Foster tells him that his kit is inadequate, and that he will also need a proper kit, including boots, in order to enter the football trials. Tucker borrows Justin's kit for Benny to wear, but they have no luck with boots. Mitchell puts out an appeal to One Alpha for help in finding boots for Benny. Ann offers to lend her hockey boots to Benny. He is able to play in the football trials.
