Further details
Chloe announces that she has a boyfriend and Mark is mortified. His little girl is growing up too quickly and he vows to put a stop to love's young dream. Helen, on the other hand, thinks the romance is harmless and Sarah agrees. In fact, Sarah's so supportive she tries to pair Chloe with her son Zach.
The situation sours, however, when the Pearsons learn that the mystery 'man' is Sam, son to eager beaver Mia. The little mite might've stolen Chloe's heart, but a son-in-law who collects road kill isn't what they foresaw for their only daughter. Despiting agreeing on a joint strategy to let the relationship run its course and fizzle out, Mark abandons the plan and opts for outright sabotage.
Rebellion rises elsewhere in the school after Mr Gould installs CCTV. A graffiti artist has been
decorating the playground with their 'Clam' tag and the head teacher goes stir-crazy trying to catch the rogue in the act. The surveillance inspires a revolt and Miss Hunter's classroom becomes the thinktank of the insurrection. She's taking on the intrusive regime and the kids get gold stars for joining in.
