With Mordell Middle School closed, Otis and Eric now face a new challenge — to meet their first day at Cavendish Sixth Academy. Otis worries about success in setting up the new clinic, while Eric prays that they won't be losers again. But for all Mordell students, Cavendish was a culture shock — they thought they were progressive and open-minded, but the new house took it to another level. The community garden here has daily yoga, a strong sustainability vibe, and a group of people who are known for... Kind and welcome kids! Vicky is completely impressed by the school's student-led, non-competitive approach to teaching, while Jackson is still trying to forget about Carl. Aimee chose Art A Levels to try something new, while Adam struggled with whether mainstream education was right for him. In the United States, Maeve is living her dream at the prestigious Wallace University under the tutelage of pagan writer Thomas Molloy. Otis misses her terribly and adjusts to being the only child in the family and the only therapist on campus······
