But just when it looks like the party will have to be cancelled for sure, it becomes an unexpected way of saving Brian and Sophie from detection - with a little help from some fancy dress...

She decides to show Josh and Lucy a box of their real parents' old possessions - but gets really upset when she discovers that one of her real mum's old lipsticks has gone missing. It turns out that Lucy swapped the lipstick for half a dictionary - but only because Mel had never told her how precious it was.

As a result they think Josh has done very well, but are really disappointed by Lucy's twelve 'A's. But when the truth comes out about Josh's poor results, Lucy offers to help Josh with his exam re-sits if Josh helps Lucy get the lipstick back.
