When Johnno turns up at the end of this month, Jack is furious and gives Frankie an ultimatum but it seems Frankie's tempted by Johnno's offer and could be turning her back on Chester.
Will she go or will she stay? As she ponders her decision the rest of the Osbornes head to the school prize-giving. However tragedy strikes and their lives are at risk, when Hollyoks High turns into a raging inferno following a horrific gas explosion triggered by Mac Nightingale. Meanwhile Frankie is left alone in the house with Johnno and he needs an answer fast.
