Marlene finds the slashed Willie Bear under Bobbie's pillow: Bobbie accuses Angel of setting her up but no-one believes her. Ann tells Heather the Department will not suspend her immediately after their experience over the strike caused by suspending Joan. Meg is set up to find Bobbie high on pills in the laundry: Bobbie claims it was Joan who supplied her with "Ferguson's fun fizzers". Phil volunteers to run (once again) typing classes for the woman.
