Pippa meets a begging orphan boy. He is sitting in a wheelchair and his name is Flo. Pippa immediately feels a connection. But when she returns with fish and chips for him, he has disappeared. All she finds is a sign with a bloodstain on it. None of the children finds this disturbing, let alone suspicious. Shortly afterwards, Tarun's backpack is stolen, apparently by the same boy, but this time without a wheelchair. Did Flo just fake his disability? Tarun, Jonny and Lou find out that he is a former street kid who now lives with his little sister in a residential group. After initial research, the head of the residential group has a clean record – but is he really giving the children a second chance or is he just taking advantage of their situation?
