The combined force of the Trio of Terror looks set to crumble, as Chantal decides to give her returning father another chance at being a responsible dad, much to the disgust of the other two. All the other kids are overjoyed though, as it may well mean no more Wellard tyranny. Meanwhile, Justine's father Steve pays a surprise visit after a bit of underhand activity on Elaine's part. But Justine remains distant.
Mike creates a mini-farmyard enclosure in the back garden, complete with three chickens and a fully-grown pig! Lol and Layla feel sorry for the pig, and embark on a liberation mission. Meanwhile, Rio is pulling out all the stops to maximise his chances of getting fostered at Elaine's Open Day, but all Roxy is interested in is maintaining the Wellard unity at any cost. And, A very special face for the DG's past makes a spectacular return on Open Day.
After the boys discover a creepy looking mask during a loft clear-out, everyone becomes convinced it has mystical powers, especially after strange goings-on start to happen. Is it really the mask – or maybe the Dumping Ground's latest arrival, who's perpetual silence is unsettling. Meanwhile, Justine is determind to prove to Rebecca that she can be sensitive by befriending a troubled Wolfie, which leads to an embarrassing misunderstanding.
Jackie limps back to the Dumping Ground on a crutch, but she's not in the mood for anything but solitude. Tracy's getting the impression she's not wanted by anyone, and Crash gets some news which makes him take to the punch bag in a big way. Meanwhile, Marco is having a crisis of costume.
