A new computer game arrives at school, along with the chance to enter the Junior Computer Brain of the Year competition. Dinah excels at the game and soon reaches the final.

A TV show called Hunky Parker becomes the latest craze, and pupils at school are soon completely hooked. Ingrid tries to persuade her friends to watch, but they are not interested.

The Hunter family move house, hoping to put their past encounters behind them. As they begin to settle, Dinah, Lloyd and Harvey notice the villagers are all speaking the same robotic phrases.
