We meet a new girl at Hartley Heights , Juliette , but
everybody calls her "Jet" . At first , she seems a nice girl , but we
soon find out she has a bit of a criminal past . Jet notices Drazic , and
although Anita warned her for him , she finds him very interesting ! And they
seem to share a mutual interest in each other : Drazic can't take his eyes of
Jet ! When school is finished , Jet is waiting outside the school in an
expensive sports car . She asks Draz if he's interested in going for a ride , he
agrees of course , and they both take off for a spin . But then it turns out
that Jet stole the car , and she already had been in prison too ! Drazic is
angry at her at first , for not telling her that "small" detail , but
later , she dares Drazic to steal Barnett's car , making no big deal out of it !
Drazic , not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of Jet , steals
Barnett's car and Jet is so pleased that she kisses him later on . Kurt , still
looking for a job , tries his luck in the army . During training , he meets Ox ,
who also dreams of a career in the army . Ox is worried however that he'll fail
the hard physical tests . Kurt decides to help him and they both go on exercise
. After all the exams , the last physical exam is no problem for Kurt , but Ox
fails . Kurt asks the chief to give the boy a second chance , and Ox may do his
final test again , and passes ! Then they both go to the office , to find out
about their final results , and Ox passed , but Kurt surprisingly gets to hear
from the chief that he failed ! Not because of the tests , but because of his
"history" at Hartley Heights , where we all know he punched a teacher
. The chief tells him to finish his HSC first , and then he can come again and
join the army if he still wants to .

Kurt is looking for a job after he left school , but he
soon finds out it's not as easy as he thought to get a job without an HSC . At a
supermarket though , he gets a security job and maybe he could even be promoted
soon . The new girl , Julliette , likes graffiti and she shows Drazic all of her
paintings on the school walls . Drazic is impressed and he likes being with her.
At the warehouse , Drazic wants to kiss her but she refuses and wants to go home
. The next day at school , a new graffiti had been painted on the wall and
Barnett is furious about it . She tells everyone the person who did it will be
suspended , but nobody knows who did it ; except Drazic , who has a strong
feeling about it that "J'ette"did it . Anita thinks the graffiti looks
awful and it should be removed , so she and a couple of other students start
cleaning it off . Sarah thinks about her future career and she decides to become
a teacher . She asks Nat what's it like , and he tells him she can take over the
history class for a couple of periods and find out . Nat however , leaves the
classroom , and Sarah has to take over the noisy class be herself ! Drazic &
Dennis make fun of her of course , and she gets second thoughts about the whole
teaching stuff . But Nat tells her she should send the troublemakers out of
class , and so , in her second hour she sends Lee and Ryan (still her
boyfriend!) to Barnett's office , because they made a lot of noise in class !
Ryan is angry because of it , and now Sarah is even less likely to become a
teacher . Julliette wants to put graffiti in Barnett's office , and Drazic wants
to help her with the stunt . As soon as Barnett leaves , she sprays it on the
wall , and they both can slip outside again before Barnett returns to her office
. Barnett can't believe her eyes , but she still has no evidence of course who
did it ! Later at the warehouse , when Drazic & J'ette are together again ,
J'ette confesses to him that when she was a kid she was sexually abused by her
mother's boyfriend , and that's why she feels it so hard that he touches her .
Drazic understands it , and he tells her he likes her a lot , and he wouldn't
force her doing it . Kurt quits his job at the supermarket , because he found
out it's not really what he wanted to do anyway and he'd better come back to
school to finish his HSC , and get a decent job.

head , Kurt wants to settle this one and for all , and he tells Lee they'll have
