History teacher Mr Malone is jealous when new geography teacher Ms Parfitt arrives on the scene and all the pupils are excited about how brilliant a teacher she is. When it's announced there is not enough money to fund both a geography and history field trip and the most popular trip will be the one that gets the funding, both teachers go head to head in a fierce competition to get their field trip chosen. Dirty tactics are employed by Mr Malone - he steals Ms Parfitt's coffee supply, so she's super-sleepy and unable to teach and tries to find out how she produces real smoke from her model volcano in class - almost getting himself blown up in the process.
Meanwhile, Lily is complaining Rob is too 'boy' - she finds his boisterousness and burping gross and decides to give him a dose of his own medicine. It backfires - she eats disgustingly in his presence intending to shock him, but he doesn't even notice. By contrast, Ollie is sick of being treated by the others as one of the girls and Rob agrees to teach Ollie to be more 'boy'.

Martha is offered a place in the elite 'Greatacre' school, facilitated and encouraged by Martha's mother Mrs Fitzgerald and her own 'Path to Greatness'. Martha announces to her class that she will be leaving at the end of term sending everyone into shock especially Ollie. Lily and Jas decide to treasure the last moments with Martha, but Ollie decides to break all contact from Martha to quickly adjust to this big change.
Mrs Fitzgerald commences introducing Martha to the ways of Greatacre which become more and more un-appealing to Martha. With a lack of other intellectual peers, Ollie attempts to make friends with Cassie and Maxwell. Alfie is also grieving so Cassie and Maxwell offer to judge each of Ollie and Alfie's Martha memorial books to find the biggest griever. Ollie avoids Martha's attempt to work on their project to create a phone app controlled by blinking.
Mrs Griggs is worried that when Martha leaves, the schools grade average will fall and they will lose the funding for the dance studio that she manipulated to be named after herself. So she goes to great lengths to hide from Martha so she won't have to sign the transfer forms.
Ollie loses the memorial book competition, but Martha retrieves Ollie's discarded book and realises how much Ollie will miss her and that she will miss him too.
Mrs F recalls the favouritism given to Belinda Watts while they were both at the school and she still resents it seeking some revenge. When she finds out that the Cranmede school's 'Watts' prize, named after her rival Belinda, won't have a chance to be renamed after Martha if she leaves, she has her doubts about approving Martha's transfer. Finally, both Martha and Mrs F decline the offer to transfer to Greatacre.
