Doyle is sent to Coventry: it is made clear that no-one wants to know him, and before long he's fighting Tucker. After a week, it is clear more action is needed – it is suggested that an amnesty is set up, allowing an anonymous return of the pistol. Ann tells Mr. Mitchell and the Head of First Year, Mrs Monroe, and the Headmaster agrees. Doyle gets beaten up by Tucker, Benny and Alan.

When Trisha wears nail varnish, Mr. Mitchell won't take any more excuses, and tells her he's going to write to her mother. When the letter arrives, Trisha takes it herself, but she knows she is only delaying the inevitable.
