Episode 2
When Laurence gets too wrapped up in the school's Parents Evening, he finds himself trapped into spending the night at the home of the distraught mother of a problem pupil. Meanwhile, he has been assigned to referee a football tournament against a competing school, and he has somewhat too tight a grasp on the spirit of fair play for the staff's liking.

Episode 3
After being nearly trampled by one of Laurence's classes reenacting the French Revolution, the parents of a prospective student bring it to the Headmaster's attention that The Mansion's unruly student body has earned a bad reputation around town. Laurence hasn't set a particularly good example by mowing down an elderly lady with the school minibus on a class outing. When the victim threatens to go to the press, the Headmaster cracks down on the students with a rigorous program of regulations in hopes of salvaging the school's tarnished image. The teachers, finding themselves with empty classrooms and full detention halls, may stage a revolution of their own.

Laurence lands the head of his department, Donald Halifax, in the hospital with food poisoning after cooking him a meal of French cuisine. Eager to prove that The Mansion is a forward-thinking school committed to the European ideal, Headmaster Piper undertakes a search for a dynamic new head of languages in Donald's absence. When debonair, accomplished applicant Dr Chambourcy interviews for the position, it seems Donald is in danger of being put out to pasture; however, left to his own devices, Laurence can be relied upon to smash the Headmaster's dreams of progress, and a few other things in the process.
