Adrian se alegro de que los fontaneros estuvieran en huelga, así no podría ducharse en el instituto. Tenía mucha vergüenza de que sus compañeros le vieran sin ropa.
Horrible Lucas fue su casa para reclamar a Rosie. La señora Mole decía que la niña era de George Mole, pero Lucas decía que en marzo del año pasado él y Pauline estuvieron juntos. Adrian se dio cuenta de que hacía un año, sus padres mantuvieron relaciones con otras personas y de ahí salieron dos hijos (Brett y Rosie). Lucas dijo que les demandarían si no le dejaban ver a la niña. Adrian lo estaba pasando muy mal. No podía concentrarse para estudiar y lloraba. Pandora estaba a su lado; era una buena amiga.
El periodo de prueba terminó, pero el señor y la señora Mole quisieron extenderlo. Hablaban incluso de comprarse otra casa.
