Declan follows Johhno to his room and sneaks in, but is thrown out as if just a 'nice boy' not worth listening to. He returns, after the police brass has decided not to prosecute the fiend. Paul has meanwhile promised again to pay his lawyer expenses, left a present 'in case', actually a tape-recorder, and made a complex deal. Johnno believes he'll get defended by Tim in exchange for hearing out Declan, who secretly records the confession, and Tim is promised double pay to loose the case or have his closet skeletons exposed. Dan argues against Lucas's plan to just run. Ringo not Zeke are amused by their girls' volunteering all of them for the fancy school dance.
