Episode 12 depicts the ‘worst day of Hannah’s life’. This starts off with her parents arguing about the WalPlex, pharmacy that has opened up in town that is ruining their family business. Trying to help them out, Hannah decides to offer to deposit the pharmacy’s money at the bank so her mum can stay at work. Hannah then heads off to the cinema on the way to hand in her uniform and receive her last pay check. Unfortunately, before she left, she had placed the money bag on the roof of the car which had fallen off during her journey. After back tracking and searching everywhere for the money, she doesn’t find it and has to face her parents. Her parents are angry, but not as angry as Hannah expected.
