I Dream

Why Me?

Amy, Felix, Ollie, Natalie and Khush receive a golden DVD inviting them to Avalon Heights - a top secret academy for the performing arts, where everybody who's ever been anybody has spent a summer. It's a dream come true but as they settle in to work under the all-seeing eyes of Professor Toone and Patrick, the self-doubts and questions begin to emerge.

Just for the Record

Professor Toone sets the first big assignment, and everyone bar Amy quickly finds team-mates. Amy ends up with Felix, with somewhat fiery results. Meanwhile, Calvin and Jay have fallen for Natalie, who exploits them mercilessly.

Khush is tricked by a scheming journalist into talking about Avalon Heights.

Lifestyle

Radio Radio

Analie and Patrick march a reluctant Khush into the studio for her turn as morning DJ. Felix seizes the chance to crash the airwaves with his own, edgier pirate station. Khush finds her feet in the studio and begins to get into the swing of it. Felix gets competitive - then Toone offers the rebel pirate the chance to come in from the cold and go official.

Charity Record

Patrick is reading Romeo and Juliet with the group. Natalie is desperate to play Juliet but Patrick, who thinks she has no talent, won't let her. She is devastated when she overhears him say that she is not even talented enough to be a weather girl. Meanwhile, Calvin, Frankie and Amy are shocked to find workmen preparing to build a car park over a beautiful local pond which is home to hundreds of frogs. The gang launch a protest by recording a song highlighting the frogs' plight, and enlist Natalie to help get it noticed by the press.

Oliver

A discussion about the musical Oliver leads to Felix and Ollie arguing about who's had the cushiest life - rich boy or poor boy. Ollie, seeking to prove his posh but tough credentials, accepts Felix's challenge to spend a week living a Dickensian deprived life in a barn. The Heights soon divides into those who have nothing in the barn and those who have far too much inside.

Together

Natalie, Stacey and Amy form an unhappy girl band.

Jay's Pirate Video

Jay decides he wants to direct a film, but only something very small, easy and improvised. Both Frankie and Natalie become convinced he's made them the leading lady. Soon everyone's taking advantage of Jay's inability to say no to give themselves a major role.

Rap-unzel

The students work on a contemporary musical version of Rapunzel, set on a council estate. Toone gets everyone to break free of typecasting and take on a new role that is outside their comfort zone, and Ollie, appointed as director, treats his cast harshly in a bid to shake his reputation for niceness.

And the Living is Easy

Patrick is at his slave-driving worst and everyone's suffering. Patrick and Felix lock horns and Patrick doubles Felix's workload. The students defend Felix and join him in the doghouse, so they organise a strike. When Toone suggests to Patrick that he may have been harsh, he decides to strike as well. With no-one to enforce the timetable, the living really is easy at the Heights.

Families

Jay complains that his Mum has a new mobile and is constantly ringing and texting him with trivia. Ollie's problem is the opposite - his folks never seem to have time for him. They all start to work on a new piece about families but as they're set to perform the piece, Ollie's parents turn up unannounced and get much more of an insight into their son than they ever bargained for.

Toone in love

Avalon Heights is in trouble and Toone thinks he'll to have to sell it, but Analie won't hear of it. Toone returns from a weekend of Bhangra dancing a new man, having fallen in love. He introduces his future wife but Natalie investigates her background and finds that what she might be really after has more to do with the Avalon Heights title deeds than Toone's eternal love.
