18-year-old Connor Lawson, 19-year-old Emily Burnett, 9-year-old Jasmine Uson and 12-year-old Carma Hylton were cast as Alex, Charlie, Taz and Candi-Rose respectively.

Kev, Sasha and Dexter's stepfather, talks to Bailey about taking up coaching and going to college in America.

Peter is unimpressed with the young people for getting them things as nothing had been taken, but Janet gives Mike the doll for Billie and Toni.

Sasha calls the police and Kev offers Bailey a reference for a college in America in place of Roddy.

Mike and May-Li contact the police when Ryan reveals Chloe is missing and when she returns, she tells them about her new friend.

When Floss returns, she convinces some of the young people she has magical powers by guessing correctly the cards Chloe has.

Toni realises Floss took Sam's file to convince the others she can mind read and Kazima sneaks Alex into The Dumping Ground.

Floss admits she doesn't have powers and the young people are annoyed with Kazima when Alex takes their things.

Tyler shows Jody what the developers want to build and Chloe decides she doesn't want to be a spokesperson when the young people are unconvinced with what she'll say.

Candi-Rose takes a liking to the baby sheep and May-Li returns to The Dumping Ground from her holiday.

May-Li decides to stay with Kazima and Tyler and Candi-Rose asks Ryan on his opinion on whether the animals are happy, but he reckons they're not.

The young people return home and are not pleased with Alex being there and that children's services have given him permission to stay, but Kazima persuades them to give him a chance.

Mike assigns the young people at the beach some different activities and Floss watches Taz unpack in her room as they are sharing.

The boys discover something buried in the sand and Jody offers to give her room up for Taz until she settles in before showing her the assault course she did for her.

Billie and Toni spend time with potential adoptive parents, Sally and Dom Harper, at The Dumping Ground and at their house.

An electrician is needed to fix wires in Jody's room, so she has to share with Sasha, which doesn't impress either of them.

Toni refuses to talk to Billie and May-Li loses patience with Jody and Sasha's constant arguing.

The young people try to fool Mike that Ashdene Ridge has been sold and bought by a property developer, with Jody filming it.

Jody almost gets her phone back from the safe, but Mike catches her and May-Li brings new girl Charlie to The Dumping Ground, who wants to set up equipment to look at wildlife.

Mike comes across a letter from a development firm in the garden and everyone is horrified to learn that they are planning to knock The Dumping Ground down and build flats.

Charlie explains where the young people would go if The Dumping Ground was shut and Candi-Rose encourages Chloe to write a letter to her social worker to make sure they stay together.

The Dumping Ground appears on the news and Mike is horrified that Peter is head of building planning and Janet exaggerates the young people's behaviour.

Tyler finds out from Peter that contracts are being signed in a week whilst the young people talk Mike and May-Li through their crowdfunding idea.

Candi-Rose is revealed to be the one to have taken the MBE, admitting that she took it because she fears being separated from Chloe and Mike reports the money missing to the police.

Alex is taken to the station by the police after matching a description of someone breaking in and Peter reveals that the sale has been brought forward to the following day due to the management of The Dumping Ground.

The Umblebys receive an email about the sale being put on hold due to the reports of Roman remains on the site, which the young people, Mike and May-Li are delighted about.

Tyler, Jody and Alex find Frank in the garden taking photos and realises that everything about the Roman remains is a scam and Elektra is in on it.

When the TV journalist arrives to film the news on the Roman remains, she exposes it as a con when she finds one of the coins that is professionally cleaned.

Peter gives in and the young people celebrate Christmas and Tee and Elektra realise that they always had family Christmases.
