Everyone in Darwin Family has been victim of vicious pranks!! A culprit comes and leaves cereals in beds, fruit salad in Bethan's shoes and â€˜loser' written on Chris's head in permanent marker. Of course Drew and Staggsy are automatically blamed for this. But it is up to them to figure out the whodunit. They decide to have a stakeout to figure out who did it. They set nets to capture him and turn on a video camera. However it turns out that the person who had done it was acutally...gasp...Drew. He was sleepwalking--a thing that happens to young people when their parents decided to split.   Meanwhile, Tally is failing Design class. She decides to keep the secret from Bethan and instead tells her than she and Daniel the design teacher are dating. Bethan finds this repulsive and tells Eddie, who then tells Daniel. Daniel tells Tally that she almost ruined his career. Bethan also tells Tally that if Tally weren't so jealous of her none of that would have happened.

True Lies

Secrets & Lies

Half term is over already, but what a difference a week makes for the residents of Darwin House. Staggsy has recovered from his homesickness and is back as a boarder, and Bethan is sporting a trendy new image. Anya has decided to dump love-rat Miles in favour of his brother Chris, but a tabloid story reveals that Miles has already made other plans, in this case, joining some famous actress in New York. Have Chris's dreams of romance finally come true, you ask? Nope. As Chris and Anya begin to date, Chris notices that Anya goes to visit Miles before he leaves. He ends up believing she went there to get back together with him, and dumps her.  Meanwhile, Tally becomes overly jealous of Bethan's new image and poses as her when a person comes to interview her. Bethan finds out and chaos begins.

Love Hurts

It's election time at the Oaks and Anya is ready to win. But everyone else isn't too ready for her. It seems as if every time someone mentions Miles they always bring up her and laugh. Her opponent is a kid name Marcus who wowes the ladies with his charm and gets the guys green with envy.  Then Drew and Staggsy decide to nominated a very reluctant Chris, which gets Anya in an even more sad predicament. She becomes extremely determined to win, even if it means cheating.  Which may be her only way to win, thanks to her campaign manager Jax, whom after returning from Beans' house in Transylvania, becomes an absolute nuisance, and claims that Beans is so rich he has servants to do everything for him. In fact, she gets so out of hand that she tells everyone that Anya is trying to get rid of the cleaners and that kids will have to clean their own things. With this said, Anya fired Jax.

Afterwards she went to talk to Chris, who automatically believed that she was trying to copy his essay. But

Home Truths

Cupid goes on a rampage at the Oaks on this episode. Staggsy's absolutely smitten with Bethan, and keeps trying to get her attention with strange things, like a tee shirt with his picture on it. Poor Tally, still quite jealous of Bethan, keeps going around trying to kiss people.

On Anya's front, she keeps trying to avoid Chris, considering nearly all of their conversations end up in fights. But after practicing archery and putting their things away in the games shed, they accidentally lock themselves in. Chris can't get his cell phone to work and the only choice the two have is to talk everything out. That is, until Bethan finds them.

Stupid Cupid

The new history teacher, Jason, has arrived to the Oaks, and Beans is less than happy. It seems as if Jason is always on his case. And as Jason assigns a report, Beans has other plans, in this case, by not doing the report at all. Instead he offers a full jazz performance (hence the title ""Swing Kids."") But even with all of this, Jason gives Beans a failing grade. And even worse he holds his guitar hostage.

Meanwhile Drew and Staggsy, up to their old pranking selves again, decide to move an old car they find parked in the lot. However, their sweet joke turns very sour when it crashes. And guess who owns this car? None other than Jason. Drew and Staggsy immediately fled the scene after this happened, and Jason blamed Beans for it. He also threatened to break Beans' guitar.

Beans tried to be a bit nicer and redid his report (actually typed this time.) Yet Jason still failed him. Beans couldn't even believe it and still Jason messed with Beans and his guitar. This angered Beans and he pun

Swing Kids

It's parent's evening at the Oaks, and Drew's mum and dad have come over for a visit. Drew and Staggsy were serving hors d'oeuvres in two shirts they took from their new reluctant roommate Beans. It was then that Staggsy, while hiding behind Drew's mum and Jan Roberts, found out the unthinkable: Drew's parents were getting a divorce. Of course, Staggsy did not want to tell Drew, but in a pact they had signed that they would never withhold a secret from each other.

Meanwhile, Drew finds out that Chris has been spending time with a woman named Simone. As the two go into town for pizza and pool, Chris leaves without Drew, and drops (i think) his wallet (or some kind of jewelry.) Drew jets off after him, and that's where he figures it out.  Staggsy, caught between all of this confusion, decides not to tell Drew and just let his parents tell him when they take Drew to lunch. But then Drew asks Staggsy to come also.

Anya talks to Beans and confesses that after being dumped by both of the Silverstone brothers, she's created an imaginary boyfriend by the name of Felix Van Shellbeck. Her parents love him.

No, we're not kidding.

And when prize-giving evening comes around, Anya wants Beans to pose as her dear Felix. But of course, Beans's uniqueness causes the entire fiasco to be given away.

Meanwhile, Staggsy enters one of Drew's paintings in the Oaks' art competition. The only problem is that he entered it under HIS name.

Pranks start up again in the house, and everyone gets one, with the exception of Anya. This makes her feel left out, and with the help of Jax, decides to TP the canteen. But she accidentally smashes a statue of the Oaks founder which was also in the canteen, on her way out. Of course the punishment for this is EXPULSION, something that Anya doesn't want to experience. But yet she didn't want to tell.

Rumors are spread all around about the culprit, and no one even tried to suspect Anya. But as Jan Roberts demanded to know who it was, Anya immediately confessed. Then, Jax confessed. Soon afterwards, Chris, Drew, Staggsy, Bethan, and Tally also confessed, showing their support for Anya, in a traditional ""if-you-take-her-down-you-have-to-take-us-all"" way. Jan Roberts had no choice but to put the entire house on probation.
