Brian is out buying a bicycle but ends up in a wheelchair. Not that he had been beaten up, but he loved the wheelchair and rejected the bicycle. Lucy overhears Wendy's Mum saying to Mrs Hardman that Wendy only has four weeks to live. Brian protests at the diner for disabled access and Mel is recovering from a mud mask that went horribly wrong and having to be guided around school by a guy called 'Francis'...which is actually Frankie!
