Written by Alice Addison
Directed by Kriv Stenders

The school is in lockdown as the police investigation into Karim's death begins, and Bashir battles to contain the frenzy which has ensued at school and the rage of the victim's brother, Tarek. Amongst such a volatile gang culture, can he stop him retaliating?

Details of the crime are kept from teachers, students, and even Kellie but a fuller picture emerges when George's hospitality class is invaded by police. As Detective Bilic leads the police investigation, Bashir battles to keep up his program of reform in the face of an officious department (threatening the closure of the school), panicking parents, a skeptical staff, and a community angry at the media attention the murder has generated.

Bashir is determined to do his best foe the boys of Boxdale and promises Tarek's father, Mohammed, that he won't lose another son. Meanwhile, Kellie warms to Bashir's methods and they share a drink after work.
