After Alfie plays a cruel prank at her expense, Miss Pickwell goes missing. Her car is found by the Severn Bridge with a note to say she has jumped to her death, driven to suicide by Alfie. Whilst Fraser and Alfie interview prospective replacements - all highly unsuitable - Miss Gulliver is appointed acting deputy and proceeds to act more and more like Miss Pickwell. Consumed with guilt Alfie gives a funeral oration - though unfortunately for the wrong person - before organizing a lavish memorial service at the school, after which he is secretly visited by Miss Pickwell. She tells him she staged her own death for the insurance money and wants a thousand pounds from him to flee to Argentina. He reluctantly agrees to help.
