Category: Plot Synopsis

As GILES recollects his fleeting moment of passion with OCTAVIA, a spaceship of mice-munching aliens are watching his every move.

BEANIE gets a helping hand/eye as he passes through SHANE and VIOLET’S cool detector at school. ANTONY and ANTONIA have broken up. GILES gets a dismal cool rating from the detector, but at least OCTAVIA wasn’t there to see… he spoke too soon, as she has arrived. His miracle arrives when SOPHIE’s poltergeist is offended by ANTONY and causes havoc.

ANTONY and ANTONIA, separately of course, involve reluctant GILES in their relationship issues. BEANIE has been sketching showerheads again. GILES and JOSH squabble over who will pick up OCTAVIA’S dropped textbook. OCTAVIA spurns JOSH’S advances and hopes to see GILES at the beach party. But the beach is a horror to GILES. And is he sexy enough for her?

In science class GILES is the only one able to verbally answer MR DORSEY’S question as to which one species can consciously alter it’s appearance to attract a mate. DOROTHY advises GILES to get in touch with his INNER CHILD to solve his attitude towards his body. This leads GILES to consider letting go of his younger self and move on. SOPHIE’S temper and poltergeist appear when GILES tells her that ANTONY does not like her.

COACH SHANE gives GILES a bottle of pills to help him in his quest for a decent body. But his body is a temple. JET offers to swap the pills for some of her own additives. GILES relents and takes her ointment, which promises he will look “great”. He rubs it on his chest, but it doesn’t seem to work. Meanwhile JET gets pumped up after taking the pills she gained in the exchange. Beach party day arrives but GILES can’t go topless with a “green” chest! INNER CHILD suggests he take OCTAVIA elsewhere.

GILES is looking for OCTAVIA when DOROTHY exits from her “cleaning job” at the Vermont’s house. That’s odd. MRS VERMONT says she is already at the beach. GILES faces his fear and goes to the beach party. JOSH and ANTONY tease him about wearing a shirt, so he takes it off wishing for super powers. They all laugh at his green chest, but at least OCTAVIA wasn’t there to see the teasing… then he spies her out to sea. Is she in trouble? GILES, a non-swimmer, paddles to rescue her in an inflatable.

OCTAVIA is nowhere to be seen in the sea. Has she been eaten by twin sharks? A periscope with OCTAVIA’S eye in it appears then punctures GILES’ inflatable. GILES can’t swim! MR DORSEY watches from the beach – he wants to tell his side of the story.

GILES’ entrance wakes MR DORSEY’s science class. They’re even more annoyed when SOPHIE arrives with her poltergeist and a mouse which escapes… into GILES’ bag. During the commotion, he spots MR DORSEY swallowing a tail. While GILES gets zapped… SOPHIE discovers a fluffy pink G-string in his bag. Though he pleads innocence, GILES has broken the fundamental school rule. He’s immediately ostracised. Just when things can’t get any worse, they do.

DOROTHY’s new job is at the school canteen. And GILES meets JET, a food additive addict. Only after he’s introduced her to fresh food, and she’s gone to rip the scab off reality, does he learn of her allergies. JOSH’ll hold GILES personally responsible for the consequences.

GILES finds a secret passage leading to the Girls’ changing rooms. There he spies a bag identical to his own, and the girl without the purple dress. He also discovers BEANIE drawing shower-heads. BEANIE swears GILES to secrecy. In return he gives GILES an address (to source the mystery underwear and clear GILES’ good name). As GILES stakes out the address, he hears JET’s stolen the detonator for the missing bomb.

He convinces the CHARITY COLLECTOR (who lives at the house) to help him when a masked superhero, wearing pink G-string, threatens to haul the collector in for an out of date license. GILES discovers that the masked hero is… JOSH!! He threatens to expose JOSH as a wearer of a pink leotard unless the unmasked hero helps find JET.

GILES follows the fruit peel, and finds the bomb’s been detonated. JET demands pentasodium triphosphate, and only then will she hand over the detonator. OCTAVIA appears; an exchange is made – but where is the key to the detonator? GILES & OCTAVIA find the key in a crate of underwear. A mystery is solved. GILES is happy (OCTAVIA kisses him), and VIOLET is pleased to find her imported lingerie. The one school rule is cancelled. MR DORSEY reports back to base – it’s time for phase two.

The ALIENs are buzzing.

A veiled ANTONIA mourns ANTONY’s departure. So does SOPHIE.

The ALIENS activate their ‘last distress signal’, which in turn activates DORSEY’s blinker. CMDR VERMONT and his platoon also pick up on the distress signal.

SOPHIE tries to activate her poltergeist to get back at ANTONIA for driving ANTONY away. But the poltergeist is ghostly quiet.

BEANIE steals round things that look like flying saucers.

The ALIENS find themselves in the garbage. DORSEY and CMDR VERMONT try to track the signal discreetly. The fly buzzes off.

GILES finds BEANIE stealing the hubcaps off a police car. OFFICER COSTELLO is excited – an actual crime. GILES is taken away to be locked up.

OCTAVIA uses her brilliance to conclude that there is a logical explanation for GILES jailing. JOSH is hellbent on solving the crime and exposing GILES for the true criminal he is.

The platoon blow their opportunity to get the ALIENS.

JET explains the concept of jail to BEANIE. They have to get GILES out.

OCTAVIA gives her sympathy to DOROTHY re GILES. GRAMPA’s got a plan to get GILES out.

Sherlock JOSH tries to find GILES’s hubcap thief accomplices. HELLS BIKERS– of course!

GRAMPA knits GILES a cake containing a vast assortment of electrical implements to break out. There’s just one problem – no power socket.

OCTAVIA convinces the shoes that GILES is useful. She’s not developing “feelings” for him, is she?

OFFICER COSTELLO is devastated when the Hexagon orders him to release the hubcap criminal, GILES. He watches as the limelight pans to another cop who has arrested COMMANDER VERMONT.

JOSH finally locates the HELLS BIKERS – and is beaten up once again. GILES is free!!

The aliens, VORTEX, NEBULA and XERON have washed up on the beach.

In spite of the success of last episode’s Romeo and Juliet GILES is back to square one. He is not fitting in at Atlantis High.

DOROTHY is “cleaning” the Vermont’s house.

ANTONIA gets a break-up note from ANTONY. ANTONY confides to GILES that ANTONIA is doing his head in – literally. GILES wants to help them/her/him/it by splitting them up. He convinces ANTONY that he needs to leave Sunset Cove. This upsets SOPHIE and her pal.

JOSH is advertising his Silver Hotline. He has no new messages.

Q tells OCTAVIA that her father knows more than he thinks.

DORSEY has not heard from the aliens for a week. He despairs.

The Beach Volley Ball final is held. Cheerleader ANTONIA is upset. GILES, JET, BEANIE and DON try to console her with food.

Meanwhile the miniaturised spaceship on the beach has been picked up by the volley ball. The aliens are thrown back and forth.

Back at the Vermont’s residence DOROTHY has found an old photo of MRS. VERMONT. Unbeknownst to her she is being watched.

The pizza takes too long to order so GILES and the gang decide to take ANTONIA shopping. SOPHIE, still upset at ANTONY’s departure, causes a gust of wind that picks up the volley ball (with the aliens) and flings it at SABRINA’s bikini bottom. SABRINA now has an annoying itch and goes to get some cream.

OCTAVIA is caught and sent to the store for cigars.

GILES and co. arrive at the store to find crazed ANTONY with a dangerous frozen chicken. Everyone is hostage. The store owner secretly dials the Silver Lining. The aliens distress signal is operating again, attracting the attention of DORSEY and VERMONT.

GILES convinces ANTONY that if he changes to ANTONIA then he will not be arrested. A fly bugs SABRINA and it picks up the aliens.

The military storm the supermarket hoping to trace the signal. JOSH the superhero makes a smashing appearance… a tad too late.

ANTONY is sent off in to the sunset by a farewell party… that includes ANTONIA… ??!!

The Editor of the school website mysteriously vanishes.

DORSEY works feverishly trying to locate the ALIENS.

The ALIEN ship is caught in a spider’s web in the Vermont’s Garden.

There will be an election to replace the missing Editor. GILES is nominated. But by who? – could SABRINA really have nominated him just so she’d have someone easy to beat? GILES decides not to stand but JET convinces him he can’t quit. Besides. OCTAVIA is extremely impressed that GILES is running for the job.

DOROTHY doesn’t want GILES to blow his big chance – he’s got a tradition of no-hoping to continue. She takes him to therapy with DR LEGGZ.

SABRINA blackmails VIOLET. If she doesn’t get help with her campaign then SABRINA will stop supplying VIOLET with the stylie clothes.

GILES finds himself in a no-win situation. If he stands he loses.. if he doesn’t he loses.
SABRINA commandeers the cheerleadering squad for her election campaign, while MRS VERMONT commandeers her husband’s platoon.

The SPIDER approaches the ALIENS. They’re scared. At the last moment they are saved when VERMONT’s stick slashes the spider’s web.

GILES decides to stay in the election, but the outlook is dismal. OCTAVIA is depressed. CMDR VERMONT cheers her up by helping with GILES campaign. They employ bribery and other devious tactics. On election day, GILES is neck n neck with SABRINA.

OCTAVIA admits that she was the one that nominated GILES for Editor of the school website. GILES is stunned.

JOSH as the SILVER LINING guards the ballot boxes – but not very well.

Time to count the votes. BEANIE casts the deciding vote. GILES wins!! And so without his knowing, GILES becomes a mole for THE AGENCY…
