Lockie Leonard

- Season 1

(2007)

Lockie Leonard, surf-rat, arrives in Angelus with his family to discover they're to live in a house that's slowly sinking into a swamp.

Lockie's first day of high school runs exactly to plan... not! After quickly making an enemy, Lockie is an immediate target for all kinds of treatment at school.

Mum decides it's time Lockie learns about his changing body. Meanwhile, Lockie continues to be a target and nearly loses the only friend he has.

When Lockie accidentally mouths-off in math class, Mum is called into Old Squasher's office. As usual, Mum blames herself. A guilty Lockie vows to make it up to her.

Lockie questions why his dad Sarge insists on being so "different". It's hard enough fitting into a new town without Sarge drawing attention to the family -- like insisting the thing they need is a pet sheep named Cyril.

Puberty is like one of those garden make-over shows: you get a lawn where there wasn't one before.

After five weeks in Angelus, Lockie is still an outsider -- how could this happen? Desperate to be one of the gang, Lockie takes up football.

Lockie Leonard is officially a teenager. But, hold on -- do things feel any different? Everything does! Vicki Streeton kisses Lockie, promising to sort out "The Details" later.

After his disaster with Vicki, Lockie hibernates in his room for days. His family has had enough -- poor Phillip has even broken into a rash.

Suffering from Easter holidays boredom, Lockie decides it's time to teach Egg how to swim. But the boys get more then they bargained for when they discover the river is polluted.

Thanks to Phillip, breaking news about Lockie and Dot is spreading across Angelus like wildfire. Lockie is mortified.

Lockie and Egg prepare for their public meeting to help save the river. At first, Lockie's committed to the cause... until Dot asks him to surf, that is.

Lockie has some problems. First, he's decided to break up with Dot. It's just figuring out how that's tricky. Meanwhile, Mum is acting weird. She's been staring at the TV for days, when it's not even tuned to a channel.

Just when life is finally uncomplicated, Lockie falls for Vicki Streeton all over again...and it's driving him to distraction.

Lockie and Vicki are back on. And unlike before, Lockie takes the public attention in his stride.

When dancing-challenged Lockie realises he's expected to bust some moves at the upcoming blue light disco, he takes his insecurities out on Phillip. Phillip is kept busy on a top secret assignment, "Project Lisa".

Lockie is invited to go water skiing with Vicki and her parents, and assures Vicki he's a good skier. In reality, he's never skied before. Ever.

After a misunderstanding with Vicki, Lockie is thrust into a looming altercation with an older bogan. Lockie's mum must also face her fears when she is asked my Mrs Egg to pose for a sculpture -- in the nude.

Lockie is stressed out . Out the three hundred and sixty five days in the year, why did Vicki and Phillip have to be born on the exact same day?

Lockie and a bunch of kids from school are off to John East's Camp Find Yourself. The clock's ticking for Egg as he faces a difficult decision about his future. Lockie's relationship with Vicky is put to the test.

Mum is having one of Polka Dot days. Like Freda the Volvo, sometimes Mum needs a bit of a tune-up. Usually, one day in bed does the job. But it's been three days already and Mum's not getting any better.

Between mum being in hospital and his continued bed-wetting, Phillip needs cheering up, so Lockie enters them in the Annual Angelus Fishing Competition.

Lockie and the family become the focus of small-town charity, much to Lockie's chagrin. Lockie enters the cross-country and places a disappointing first. Cyril goes missing.

Nan and Pop arrive to help out the Leonards but with Nan's cooking filling the family's stomach with stinky hot gas and Pop's dangerous driving, the grandparents are more of a hindrance.

Lockie ponders the notion of the domino effect: how one small event can trigger a series of other smaller events, leading to big, potentially life-changing results.

It's the last day of school and Vicki drops a bombshell: she won't be coming back to Angelus High next year. In fact, she's leaving Angelus altogether to go to boarding school.
